you're crazy. and a FUD spreader...

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?

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.

BS. It's actually just typical anti-MS bashing from you, topped off with another hyperlink to some foreign website. What's funny though is that you have to use Windows every day yourself to pay the bills.
