There's not enough bad press for Microsoft over the absolutely atrocious DRM they've put into Vista. I'm very pleased to see some pickup - with luck, more people will take note of this kind of nonsense:
Vista is disadvantaging high-end audio and video systems by openly disabling devices. The most common high-end audio output interface is S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) which doesn't have any content protection. It must be disabled in a Vista system when DRM-protected content is being played. Equally a high-end component video interface (YPbPr) also has no content protection and must be disabled when protected video is being played.
Of course, MS is the same outfit giving kickbacks to the recording industry for every Zune they sell. At this point, Microsoft is truly making the world just a little bit worse every day.
