BBC in bed with MS

I’m appalled at a recent BBC decision to release its new online watch again service to Windows only. The problem for me is that I love the BBC normally and I want to consume their content but they always make it so hard for me. I don’t like to consider myself anti-Microsoft but I don’t want to use their software which means that I’m now pretty much stuck with the BBC’s text only content. I’m afraid I’m going to be reduced to just listening to a bit of radio 4 when I’m near a radio. If I have already paid my license fee then why should I also have to buy software from an American company to watch it?
