Apple supplies both hardware and software, so they don't have
compatibility concerns. Will Apple have to produce devices that protect
content? I don't know about that -- that's a good question.
The iTunes stuff does have some content protection, but it's not too
obtrusive, and their attitude is rather less obnoxious. Plus, you
don't have to get your stuff from iTunes store (or some other pre-set
vendor) to use it on (say) an iPod. It's clearly not completely free
of these problems, but it doesn't seem to be a Vista-like embrace of
content control.
