So, tell me where you go in Vista to turn the DRM off?

By the way, there’s a lot of stuff you can alter on the Mac that you just can’t do on Vista. Like, oh, use a non HDCP display at full resolution.

BTW, Apple is probably the single biggest perpetrator of DRM with iTunes and AAC.

That's just FUD B.S. You do not need an HDCP monitor or graphics card to use Vista at full resolution.

The only situation where you will have reduced resolution is during Blu Ray movie playback when the movie has the DRM set to degrade quality without HDCP. That only happens to the video, not the entire screen.

That is the requirement of the Blu Ray consortium, not Microsoft.

When and if Apple implements Blu Ray, they will be subject to the same DRM requirements.
