"Microsoft announced that they have created an alliance with Philips in order to merge the two worlds of consumer electronic devices and PCs. Under the deal, Philips will support Windows Media Audio, Video and Windows Media DRM 10 technology in its 'Nexperia' multimedia chips. Philips' chips are used in digital media receivers, video phones, portable MP3 players and many other consumer devices."

That's it, I'm not buying Philips anymore.
