The web exploded yesterday with the news that Microsoft would cripple 32bit versions of Vista so they would not play protected high-definition content. However, Microsoft was quick to respond, stating: "The community is buzzing with reactions to APC Magazine's article regarding playback of protected High Definition content in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista. However, the information shared was incorrect and the reactions pervading the community are thus (understandably) ill-informed. The real deal is that no version of Windows Vista will make a determination as to whether any given piece of content should play back or not."

"no version of Windows Vista will make a determination as to whether any given piece of content should play back or not."
So its not going to determine that it won't play some content because I don't happen to have the "digital rights for it?" - Thats What consumers have wanted all along, but I somehow think this guy can't mean what he says.
