Came across a very interesting article on the costs involved with Windows Vista`s content management (Thanks, Matt, for the link). The conclusion sounds dire:

The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history.

Interesting to read that Microsoft defines High Definition as anything with a resolution higher than 520k. In other words, a camera with .6 megapixles would already be HighDef. Hey – most mobile phones can do that.

In their specs, Microsoft regard anything with more than 520K pixels or 800 x 600 resolution as premium content that needs to be downgraded before displaying it to the user.

So – either you use proprietary software, hardware and drivers, or you watch video in low rez, is it that?
