Oh and please, give the DRM a break...HEY! Apple use it  with iTunes, so bash the media producers for insisting on DRM rather than those that have to implement it so you will be able to run your MP3's on your iPod, or your HD DVD or Blu-Ray on your computer. Yet again, a lot spouted, but very little research done to gain a fair opinion.
Ok, have Vista without DRM...but then we will hear people complain that they can't play any multimedia content...which funnily enough, would probably be the same people who would be up in arms about copyright theft of 3D meshes,images etc!

Well, I'm sorry DRM technology is only protecting the same copyright laws that we as artsits embrace to protect our intillectual property!

I will NOT give DRM a break; it's freaking Evil, with a capital E.
I misquote the infamous "Those who wish to control your access to knowledge, secretly dream themselves your master"
The problem is with Microsoft DRM; the iTunes DRM is sort of not very bad.
From TheRegister: "Vista's content protection requires that devices (hardware and software drivers) set so-called "tilt bits" if they detect anything unusual....With the introduction of tilt bits, all (of this) designed-in resilience is gone. Every little (normally unnoticeable) glitch is suddenly surfaced because it could be a sign of a hack attack. The effect that this will have on system reliability should require no further explanation"
From a cost analysis of Vista: "...Since the S/PDIF link to your amplifier/speakers is regarded as insecure for playing the SA content, Vista disables it..." "...component (YPbPr) video will be disabled by Vista's content protection, so the same applies to a high-end video setup..."  "..If you rip your own CDs, WMP11 will take your rights away too. If the 'Copy protect music' option is turned on, well, I can't top their 1984 wording. "If the file is a song you ripped from a CD with the Copy protect music option turned on, you might be able to restore your usage rights by playing the file. You will be prompted to connect to a Microsoft Web page that explains how to restore your rights a limited number of times." (Note: this applies to Windows Media Player 11, which is a "critical update" for WindowsXP) "
Other quotes: "...Vista machines won't be able to play next-generation, high-definition DVDs in their full, high-resolution glory unless they're equipped with monitors that support a new DRM scheme called High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection, or HDCP...." "thanks to the removal of hardware accelerated 3D sound in Vista, Creative's popular DirectSound based EAX no longer works at all..."
Google it. use Vista, DRM, TPM & NSA as keywords. If you have any money invested in doing anything outside of just surfing the web, if you need to do anything that isn't based on the applications bundled with Vista, you are MOST LIKELY going to have problems.
