Why should M$ start caring what standards agencies think?  They never have in the past. One of the thousands of examples is HTML. Do they do a good job at sticking to W3C standards?  I believe W3C is also in charge of XML:

HTML is a branch of XML.

Well that is the goal with the advent of XHTML. HTML has been around a lot longer than XML and both are derivatives of SGML. It seems to me that they want to do away with HTML and have everything be XML.

I was told otherwise because it was philips that recently spoke out saying you shouldn't have copy protection on the cd otherwise it shouldn't be called a compact disc.  They are supposedly the CD's custiodians.

Are you sure you are not thinking of sony's minidisc?
