Re: [OS-X vs. BlueRay & USB 3.0] Apple does not support BlueRay?

FYI, Microsoft doesn't support Blu-Ray either. You need a commercial app to play the movies. So what's the difference here?

Even the vaunted new Windowz 8? ~ STILL no BlueRay?

Like I said before, the difference is that Windows supports the DRM required by Bluray to play the movies thru 3rd party software...

Nobody would really bitch if Apple would have at least supported the DRM in the OS & its drivers so people just could use external drives and i'm sure there would be plenty of commercial bluray players out there like there are for Windows.
