If customers allow DRM in the Apple kernel because it isn't "real" DRM then the infrastructure has been laid for a simple software update that makes it "real" in the future. That is, when the movie execs come to Steve and say they want some assurances that their movies will be protected, he can say ok and point to the trusted computing infrastructure in every Mac. Then Microsoft can use the market penetration of movies on Mac to justify demanding that every OEM put DRM on motherboards of new PCs. Then consumers (the cattle) will run to get these new computers so they can get movies on demand.
