This seems to have escaped notice on Macosx.com but I find it fairly significant too:

According to the site it takes about four minutes from purchase to burn. It's bundled inside a dvd case, with color packaging."

The link for the original story and it's comments which are as usual always interesting on Slashdot:

For a second I was wondering if they meant setting fire to copies of realone player and internet explorer!

Sounds like a good idea though. Some of the slashdot people mentioned Universal Music of course, and also small software companies and shareware. Wonder if it will make it over to Europe? Maybe when we get Apple Stores.
 
Since Apple contacted a third party to do it for them and Compublabla (I don't remember) I'm afraid we'll have to wait some time until we see it here.

Software will be mostly minor software titles, shareware perhaps, but from companies who don't want to pay outrageous publishing prices. It will help get a lot of software on the market who would never have reached the normal-i-don't-know-jack-shit-about-the-internet-user. (Pardon my French)

PS: About Universal Music check that thread, third page for the truth, sadly enough ... :(
