Fortune: "After five years in development, Microsoft's new operating system is finally about to hit the street. Is it a keeper? Fortune's Peter Lewis takes it for a test drive." eWeek: "Some have taken exception with Vista's permission-asking proclivity, but it may be that we've just become too cavalier about making fundamental changes to our systems." eWeek: "We check out the first systems bundling Microsoft's newest OS and tell you what you will, and will not, be getting with Vista." Click read more for, well, more items. This item will probably be updated regularly.

So Microsoft should screw the end user by saying, "no HD Content for you!" - pulease, and their shareholders would then ask for a lynching of management because they lost the opportunity to become the platform of choice.
And you think that Apple won't turn over for the media companies? Apple is the best example of being the biggest whore for the media companies - yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir is what Steve Jobs chants.

No, they should say to the end user:
"no DRM for you, instead we invested our time and money into X, Y and Z, things that will actually directly *benefit* you"

"I don't blame Microsoft for the DRM fiasco; lets remember, its the media, more correctly, the comanies who are members of RIAA/MPAA, put pressure on Microsoft"
The big media concerns 'asked' MS, MS caved in, for whatever reasons.
I say let's blame them both.
