What we’ve all been waiting for, folks —
DRM for
Silverlight
Whoopee...
It had to happen sometime: Microsoft
announced…DRM is making its way onto the Silverlight platform, powered by
none other than the company’s elusive PlayReady content access
technology.Silverlight,
Microsoft’s cross-platform answer to Adobe’s Flash, was unveiled
last year just two months after their PlayReady “cross platform” DRM was
announced.This announcement no doubt
plays into NBC’s broadcasting of the 2008 Summer Olympics on its Web site
through Microsoft’s Silverlight technology. For the 17-day event, the
official site will broadcast an estimated 2,200 hours of programming with
features such as event scheduling with pop-up reminders and picture-in-picture
viewing.Progress in technology
led by Microsoft.
