Exacly. If we want to see movies outside the cinema, there is no question this is needed. They (the big companies) need to protect their intellectual property, and it works (well, maybe not against the few that know how to circumvent it, but they dont really matter in the big picture). Its another thing that some movie-companies are bitching all the time, but that aint be microsofts fault.

They just do what is needed (what would happen if microsoft did not do this? No movies and music on Vista). If you dont want to support DRM, stop buying the movies and the music. Try looking into what BillG said recently about what he thinks about DRM.

Enough about that ;-)

Microsoft implemented this DRM in Vista not the anonymous Big Companies.

If you disagree don't buy Vista, and you can never have enough of the truth.

No, Microsoft chose to support HD-DVD and BlueRay, in order to support these you have to have this DRM in place.
