This to me is a major barrier to the take up of Linux based systems, apparently windows 8 is dropping some support for cd / dvd devices, i guess in an attempt to force people on to these net services. (i guess that is to increase the profits of these multinational rip off merchants). So if new users come up with this we should be able to direct them to ONE place to register to FORCE change., no good having 10 lobby groups with 10 names each when 1 lobby group with 100 names carries far more weight, clearly by tying thigns in to MS it gives them the usual unfair monopoly on the system so once everyone is locked in, start charging for the service. or increase the price you need to pay to watch stuff.
