[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1196898, member: 82144"] You're very welcome. :) Take the time to do a little research into the cost of implementation, compliance testing and certification for copy-once content reception and the reasons for the situation will become blindingly obvious. In short: the aforementioned costs run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Microsoft are far from being the only people who are technically smart enough to figure out how to implement copy-once support; they're merely the only people who have enough money to afford to pay to implement it. Again, I suggest you do your research. To me it seems most likely that the cost of re-testing and re-certification - which must be done for each major release - is a big part of the reason that they canned WMC for Windows 10. The costs are disproportionately high, even for an organisation like Microsoft which has billions of dollars in the bank. [/QUOTE]
