With Apple and Google’s native support of H264 video as part of their HTML5 implementation in the Safari and Chrome browsers as well as its native H264 support on both the iPhone/iPad and Android mobile devices, the adoption of H264 for Internet video will accelerate.

I suspect that Microsoft, which already is both a licensor and licensee of H.264, will support it with the HTML5 video tag in the next release of Internet Explorer.

Forcing your users to have to upgrade to get a feature that is either not support be 3rd party devs (DX10) or can be replaced with an alternative program(firefox) show a lack of understanding of your user base. WMP, DX10, IE8 and other build in programs are not features you buy an OS for. Improve productive, security, connective and data management are the true reason you upgrade your OS. @ intrepix

It seems with each new version of Windows, there is always something that MS wants to do to force users to upgrade or buy their software, I believe DirectX 10 was the carrot with Vista, who knows what MS will come up with next.
