The DRM reduction is a mandate by the movie studios and has already been
circumvented via multiple means.



Having installed vista on 5 different computers now I've had no driver
issues either - if you're running 64-bit it's a different story however as
those are far more demanding.

Vista will not kill the Media PC if you're in indie developer unless you
enable some form of Digital Rights Management in your work. Depending on the
level of the DRM enabled, Vista may require newer signed hardware to play
it. Older monitors may not be certified and may not play DRM content.

Nightmare? Well if your hardware and drivers are up to snuff, understand
that DRM enabled HDDVD or Blue Ray media will play at lower resolution. I'm
not an MS basher, but this is probably one of the most backward
implementations of protection by reducing quality?

If a client requires some form of protection scheme, it could be
problematic. Vista's DRM does a thorough check of drivers and available
hardware before DRM content can run. Being that there are so few Vista
released drivers, early adopters may encounter glitches.
