The thing I would fiercely object to is any legislation that prohibits devices from playing standard formats like MP3. And I suspect that Microsoft is quietly lobbying for that.
It all comes down to the content owners, and whether they want to encrpyt their product or not. Both Apple and Microsoft provide DRM tools for those who do, in their role as technical facilitator. Right now some EU countries are suing Apple for using DRM, even though several of the content companies that are the ones requiring the DRM are actually based in Europe. But until the content owners themselves remove their own requirements for DRM, Apple and Microsoft will continue to be caught in the middle.
