The new restrictions in Windows XP won't prevent other vendors' software
applications from recording MP3 music at a higher fidelity, but early
testers of beta versions of Windows XP already complain that the most
popular MP3 recording applications -- which compete with Microsoft's
format -- don't seem to function properly, apparently because of changes
Microsoft made to how data are written on CD-ROMs under Windows XP.
Microsoft says that while other software vendors' products may not be
"optimized" to run with Windows XP, those products should run acceptably
with the operating system.
