  Why Did Microsoft Cut Dolby Out Of Windows 8?
Time: 12:54 EST/17:54 GMT | News Source: SF Gate | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft has shipped Dolby technology for playing surround sound DVDs in Windows since 2007. According to Dolby's 2010 financial statements (PDF here), last year Windows licensing made up 12% of the company's revenue, up from 10% in 2008 and 2009. So why strip Dolby surround sound support out of Windows 8? Microsoft had no comment, but it's probably because Microsoft has found that pushing the PC as a home entertainment device didn't help Windows sales. If PC makers want to make high-end computers that connect to surround-sound audio systems, that's fine -- let them license Dolby's technology directly.
