Microsoft locking out third party codecs/blocking free software formats

| Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 is all pay-for-play:
| 
| Playing around with Windows 7 I noticed a new “feature”…Windows Media Player 
| 12 will no longer allow the user to use any audio or video format that 
| Microsoft and the various partners don’t allow.  
| 
| What does this mean for competing formats and free formats like Ogg Vorbis, 
| Ogg Theora, and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)?
