I have used Flip4Mac for about a year anyway

As I note, above, it's the licencing of Windows DRM to non-Windows systems that's part of the problem.

- Why don't you submit this to Slashdot, digg, or whatever. (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 5, 10:28:48
  - Well, I may do (I submitted it to a Mac site at weekend) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:33:04
- So does that imply it doesn't work with Firefox, Opera, etc? (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 5, 10:05:09
  - Correct: Windows and IE6+ only (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:14:03
    - So where does that leave mac users then, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Mar 5, 10:16:05

        Boot Camp & Parallels both require buying a copy of Windows. (n/m) (NCFC) - butnooneshome, Mar 5, 11:11:42
        
        Yes, of course (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 11:13:51
        
        Here's another possibly solution (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 11:18:11
        
        I've not owned a PC for years and there are none I can remote into. (NCFC) - butnooneshome, Mar 5, 11:27:49
        
        I use Remote Desktop to connect to machines on the office network all the time (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 5, 11:25:39
        
        Yes, we do - that's how I'd do it if I had a work laptop (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 11:33:30
        
        I do feel for you BC, the whole situation sucks. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:22:31
        
        Well, thanks, Arganth (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:27:18
        
        They've done this calculation (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 5, 10:26:45
        
        I looked into that (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:31:00
        
        right, all sounds a bit techie to me, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Mar 5, 10:22:07
      - If you hurry you can get a Mac.. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:16:58
        
        bugger, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Mar 5, 10:19:09
- sums up the problems with drm (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:03:40
  - They already have Dave (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:10:21
    - Sounds like a job for the club, FA, BBC and Monopolies Commission. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:12:42
      - it's probably legally sound (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:14:28
        
        I wonder exactly what the club get from this deal ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:16:11
        
        yeah, all champ clubs signed (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:17:49
        
        I emailed the club too; but haven't had a response yet (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:20:17
        
        I posted a question on the official board. (n/m) (NCFC) - butnooneshome, Mar 5, 11:15:04
        
        Good (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 11:24:08
        
        No, go for it ... (NCFC) - butnooneshome, Mar 5, 11:32:22
        
        That was a fair time back though. Unless it's a rolling contract. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:19:00
    - have you seen this? (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:11:55
      - But ... (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 5, 10:13:11
        
        I would also think that if you contacted other clubs... (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 5, 10:15:01
      - forget that (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:12:38
        
        I have used Flip4Mac for about a year anyway (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:16:00
        
        i suppose things like virtual pc won't help then. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 5, 10:18:19
        
        Actually, it may and I can get it from work (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Mar 5, 10:22:50
