Livestream of today’s Apple event for the first time on non-Apple platform.

I’m not an Apple user but I do pay attention to their company and their products. Today there will be product announcements from Apple and I usually watch/listen to their presentations using some pirate stream, a link to the feed that will play in VLC, or through twit.tv (The last one is not my preferred method as they have live commentary over the presentation).

I did my usual search for a feed and I was flabbergasted to discover that for the very first time the event could be watched without an Apple device. If you look at the graphic above directly from Apple’s web site at www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2015/ you can see that anyone with Windows 10 using the Microsoft Edge browser can watch the event. SHOCKING!!!

Whether this was Apple relaxing its policies or Microsoft finally just adding the correct Apple protocol doesn’t really matter. What matters is that there are fewer hoops for me to jump through. Life is better when all the tech companies play nice together.
