There's a good reason to have as many working platforms as possible for the time being. Real, Divx, etc are all competitive infrastructures with market share. This keeps Microsoft on their toes, so to speak.

As to the Mac issue, no one has DRM that works with it, and it's a Mac problem with the headers, not a Microsoft problem they won't fix.

I'll also say that while Tuckers only human and possibly missed a phone call (especially since I wasn't doing any business with him back then and I dont recall Playa having been launched) I find it odd how Gonzo's conference call,

"Yeah real good. We are still waiting in the conference room downtown for that cocksucker to call us back with all of our clients here for that implementaiton confernce call."

turned into Dirty Dougs meeting in Atlanta, "If you are buying drinks at the next industry event, I am due about 250 thousand of them. Gonzo is correct that you were supposed to meet at 230 Peachtree, Atlanta. "

Just my observation.

Here is an "observation" for you.
DRM is like opinions. Everyone thinks that their shit is the latest and greatest but so far it has been smoke and mirrors.
The bottom line is that if you sit around and talk shit, you get nothing done.
The thing is getting the work done and the performance of the product and the people who claim to know it, sell it, and support is vital. Sounds to me like you became an expert overnight. I've been doing this ever since DivX started making their claims.

If you can't get the deal closed then you might as well call yourself John-Michael Cataldi.
(If you have not had the pleasure of meeting John-Michael, ask Gonzo. He will be happy to explain the Cataldi Doctrine)

History repeats itself, those who do not study it and take head are DOOMED to repeat it.
I would prefer not to throw a multi million dollar deal to someone who doesn't have the common fucking sense to return a phone call or to cancel a meeting.
