It strikes me that Firefox and Amaya (to name 2 "Open" web browsers) will happily run on Windows, and neither the Mozilla foundation nor the W3C seem to feel that this is in contradiction to their Missions. Are you now suggesting that Firefox (to remain truly Free Software) should not be supported on the Windows platform because Windows 8 has a DRM component that the EME is interacting with? JF
