John V. Karavitis It's always going to be a tug of war in cases like this. Companies are always going to try to figure out ways to force people to tie themselves to proprietary standards, and thus ensure themselves of a captive customer base. However, as we see here, every once in a while, there efforts fail. Be careful, we may very well be headed toward a model where we get charged for every bit and byte, and you never really "own" anything, you just pay a regular fee to "possess" it. John V. Karavitis
