Microsoft on Monday detailed innovations coming in Windows Vista that the company believes makes the operating system superior in the delivery of multimedia. This would include several enhancements to Windows Media itself as well as expanded functionality within Windows Media Center, now standard in Vista. The company is promoting the new features of its upcoming operating system at the National Association of Broadcasters convention being held this week in Las Vegas. With online multimedia becoming more prevalent, traditional broadcasters are increasingly interesting in utilizing the Internet as a method for delivery.

Substitute *flash advertisement* with *flash whatsoever*. Don't make us think you thought your answer had a bit of usefulness but that was only bashing. Stop sticking the head into the ground. That per application volume control is like per application always on top, not ever needed, maybe already implemented in some applications, but more flexible and useful.

Ever have a movie going, and thus, the voulem's high, and then you go to a web page with a loud flash advertisement? Notice the flash plugin does not have a volume control, nor any browser that I'm aware of. Ads that have their own always start at max.
Or a better example (for those of us who haven't seen a Flash ad in years) is listening to some music on the computer with the volume cranked up, then suddenly you get an IM and your ears are bleeding, as it always seems that the IM sound is twice as loud as the music 
Personally, I'm looking forward to this.
As for DRM, the othe posters are right (and just like Linus T. said) - DRM is a content problem, not a software problem. When it comes to consumer DRM, you can bet it's going to be in OSX as well (it already is with ITMS anyway). The only recourse you have is Linux and its ilk, but then you're locking yourself out of any chance to use the DRM in the first place, until DVD Jon comes out with a crack, and then it doesn't really matter anyway.
