    Microsoft gives Lipservice to HollyWood on their Knees

    I read every single one of the links you provided-none of them differentiate between 32 bit Vista and 64 bit. Trust me, only 64 bit Vista has DRM. Blu Ray and HD DVD content is not intended or designed to be played back in 32 bit Vista. Dude you don't know what you're talking about.

    Microsoft gives Lipservice to HollyWood on their Knees

    I assure you DRM is not in Vista 32 bit. Do the research. Blu Ray DVD and HD DVD are not meaunt for playback with 32 bit period. I myself 'obtained' some of the HD movies, and I can play them back with power DVD Ver. 6.5. Of course, the problem might be your video card. Its not easy to say.

    Microsoft gives Lipservice to HollyWood on their Knees

    I think Vista is a great Operating system. It is only the 64 bit version of the OS that has DRM built in. The 32 bit does not. This is why with 64 bit all the drivers must be digitally signed by Microsoft, or the driver install will fail. Microsoft was unable to get DRM to work with the 32...

    Vista DRM?

    I disagree: I did some quick research on the author Peter Gutmann. This individual was pointing out security flaws and spyware issues years before Microsoft began to even address the issues. Besides, DRM is an intrusive, resource hogging, unwanted feature. I do not plan on ever using Blu ray...

    Microsoft gives Lipservice to HollyWood on their Knees

    All versions of Vista have a pernicious code called DRM, or digital rights management built in. Please read this: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36570 This is the longest 'Suicide note in history'. DRM means that everyone is labeled a criminal by default. Even if you try to...

    What to get? 32bit versus 64bit version of VISTA

    This week I obtained both 64 bit and 32 bit vista RTM. After imaging my drive out I did a clean install of 64 bit. It was a bloody nightmare trying to find drivers for my scanner, printer etc...the 64 bit drivers simply do not exist. It seems that hardware manufacturers are touting 64 bit...

    What do you NOT like about Vista?

    I just have to put my 2 cents in-I HATE Vista. I've dabbled with it since it was called LH. Because of DRM, I will not support it. Its uneccesary bloatware. WHY does anyone need to upgrade? Vista's features do not justify the co$t. I care nothing about DX10. I am sure my games will run...

    How much ram for vista?

    I agree, XP has alot of bloat, but it is the lesser of the evils, when compared to Vista. My hope is that people will wake up, see that Win 2000, Win XP has everything you really need, and not support Windows Vista. It is silly bloatware. There is not one thing a User can do with Vista that...

    when will we have a 1tb drive?

    You can get an external drive, VIA a USB cable. It will boast 1 TB, However, it is really 2 500 GB drives. My big thing I am waiting for is when the they release a new type of HD in development. THe idea is to eliminate the clunky, magnetic storage platters current HDs use. This is a major...
