(I know that most people think DRM is a Bad Thing, but we have to face the reality that most publishers aren't going to use a format without it.)
No interoperable DRM yet. DRM is the best way to earn a lot of money for such a company, that's why they'll fight to make sure that their DRM is used by everyone.
