Please leave the rampant fanboyism at the door. If you examined my site a little more, you’d see that my allegiances don’t tie in with any single company or trend, I just stick with the technology that works the way I want, and is built well.

As far as the company side of things go, they’re all as bad as each other.

I fucking knew it. Microsoft just announced that they’re now offering full HD TV shows and movies on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. This, gentlemen, is how you kick Apple right in the mean-bean machine. Now, if they’ll only hurry up and give us MP4 playback support…

Just an interesting update that’s somewhat halfway related to all this notion of MPEG-4ery and licensing, After sipping my morning coffee and reading the morning End User License Agreement for Windows Vista, I noticed a couple of interesting things.

Basically, Home Premium and Ultimate have clauses in regards to MPEG-2 licensing, naturally because those two have builtin DVD decoders in WMP/Media Center. The interesting fact is the “catch all” part of the EULA (the bit that classifies all builds of Vista) has not only a clause for VC-1, but for MPEG-4 as well. Could this indicate native support for MP4 in Vista?
