Personally, I do agree with Microsoft. I'm excited about being able to go fully to digital downloads.
Steam has had this rocking for a decade or better, and I'm very much looking forward to having the same capabilities with my Xbox One.
When I'm playing on PC, I love that if I want to switch the game I'm playing, all I have to do is close out of my current game and double-click the game I want in my Steam Library. It's easy, and very much hassle free.
When I want to switch game son my Xbox or PS3, I have to get up, walk across the room, trade out discs in cases, etc. Now, that might sound lazy, but usually I'm in full relax-mode when i'm gaming. I don't like to get up when I'm in full gaming-thought-process.
This switch by MS to a fully digital gaming experience if one wants it, is siimply going to streamline and make gaming much easier to access.
I champion the cause.

dont compare steam to DRM two different things
-
The Xbox DRM model is actually very similar to how Steam is doing it. There is really only one major difference, in that Steam allows offline play, while the X1 will allow used games. If Microsoft allowed both, nothing would stop you from selling your disc and then playing the game offline indefinitely. The 24-hour check is to ensure that the games are still yours, and also allows other features to work as well, such as game sharing and updating.

No. No they're not.
