| "Its been very difficult to maintain exclusivity," Cheely said.
| "Microsoft has huge presence over operating systems, but yet they
| haven't excluded others such as Apple or Linux from being popular
| as well."

| While licensing for operating systems can be quite complex, Cheely said
| music is not, and hoped changes in music licensing would come within the
| next several years.
