Remember, it's digital content enablement.
Don't you feel enabled?"
Microsoft the disabler.

Absolutely crucial, I'd say. I don't recall anything in the BBC license
(that I'm forced by law to pay for) that states anything along the lines
of "you must buy Microsoft's products to use our services".
That's very nearly the same as mandating by legislation that all UK
citizens must buy Microsoft Windows. It's disgraceful.
