But you don't get just some form of DRM, Vista locks you out of your own OS. You lose any control, all control being by the wishes of the copyright cartel. Vista would probably even delete an HD version of AnyDVD from your system.
you're crazy. and a FUD spreader... IF you don't like Vista don't use it... I'm not twisting you're arm, but you don't have to lie about it.
I have that same case and you're certainly right that the pic doesn't do it justice. When people see mine they want to know what "brand" it is. LOL! Silly lUsers!!
No, it isn't. Vista doesn't support playback of High Definition Content out-of-the-box (although it does support DVD playback) but can play back High Definition Content such as that found on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD via third party software such as Cyberlinks PowerDVD. Vista does support HDCP to allow for playback of Protected High Definition Content.
So what about DRM and Vista?
Yes Vista contains DRM code, but if it didn't, you wouldn't be playing back protected media. HDCP is one example of content protection, and without it you wouldn't be playing HD-DVD's or Blu-Ray Disks that are protected. Yes, to view/listen to such protected content you will need HDCP compliant hardware as well (monitor and graphics card) but this is no different than a stand alone HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player; they need to support HDCP and you would need a HDCP supporting TV as well. This and other forms of DRM protection have been featured in previous Windows or their Service Packs, some date back to Windows ME. Do I agree with DRM? Hardly, seems more effort/cost than it's worth and I despise being treated like a criminal before I've even purchased anything, but the bottom line is without the content protection support in Vista you wouldn't be playing protected content in Vista at all. Unprotected content won't be affected.
Now, Don't be a tard.
yea, thats looks "cool" it's a little bit to "far out" for me... hehe... "I'm a little bit on the conservative side..." I usually just stick with the solid white, black or silver cases... LOL ;)

It's just the facts. Vista changes its attitude quite quickly when the DRM system is activated by protected content. Read this.
Do you want to view HD content or not?
Decent notebook for a desktop replacement, but it is a bit big, hot and heavy for my liking.
That's a stand-alone player. I don't suppose you do other things on your stand-alone player, and maybe put in your own video and graphics cards? I don't suppose you run other programs on your standalone player that the player won't like, and therefore delete?
You didn't read that article, did you?
If/when I do, I'll probably get a standalone player. I don't want the copyright cartel micromanaging how I can use my computer and what programs I can load on it.
There you go, every one of their computers fits your design sensibilities.
you can view it and HD-DVD has already been copied on Vista...
ish... talk about DRM... they have DRM built into their HARDWARE! LOL!
I see you still haven't read that article. Copying HD-DVD in order to regain control of your computer is technically against the law. The copyright cartel made sure of that.
