how are these watched?
is there an app for streaming boxes (roku/firetv/etc)? mobile apps?
all i'm seeing is
"Rent or buy a movie or TV show from the Windows Store, the Xbox Store, or the Web and it will instantly appear in the Movies & TV app on your Microsoft devices.* Need to watch the latest movies and TV shows now? If you have a broadband connection, stream to watch instantly. Travelling? Download to your Windows PC, Tablet or Windows Phone so you can enjoy it on the road, even without an internet connection. "
"Watch with the Microsoft Movies & TV app on your device. When you rent or buy from Microsoft, it's playable on Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox"
The locked eco-system is a no-go for me. This is worse than Apple/iTunes.

Microsoft, Apple, Google have holidays deals.
I guess crooked Jeff Bezos doesn't give a crap about Holidays.

Amazon no YouTube in 2018
Own is kind of misleading for *any* digital video. It's more like "watch on their platform until their licence expires then it sucks to be you" There are enough horror stories online about this
Licenses shift with different companies so i don't know if there is a real solution besides piracy. You can't have only ONE company with all the licenses, that's a monopoly and nobody likes those (except the company and stockholders), not to mention little to no innovation.........
once you own it, you own it. you have the movie on your HDD/SSD. it doesn't matter if it gets pulled from the market. You can always redownload something that you purchase. And if for some reason, someone blows up Microsoft and all their servers or Microsoft completely removes their store, you still can play back the copy you have on your HDD.
