Not at all, he's just highlighting yet another completely locked-down

can't actually watch what you want with "friends,", only what Microsoft
think you should be allowed to watch with "friends".

web-based application, I imagine.
Video streaming of various kinds has been around for ages, as well as
video chat and so on. Nothing to see here.
