Microsoft fixes influential analyst’s DRM problem

Microsoft DRM was hell on influential analyst Michael Gartenberg, a user of Microsoft Reader, causing him to turn to the Amber program.

Even for Gartenberg, the solution took weeks. Related: New DRM hassles affecting video are coming from Microsoft (spotted via PaidContent.org).
