Hmmm yes, so what does that have to do with Vista? My movies certainly aren't in the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray format anyway. Let's see... you give me proof of your problems with a non-drm format, and I believe you people, ok?expecting to be able to play 1920x1080 HD-DVD or Blu-Ray movies
It's like all that paranoia about how evil XP SP2 was, and that you shouldn't install it; well, I didn't really notice anything bad about it that restricted anything I did. Just that silly security control panel, but if you're smart enough, you'll notice that you could turn everything off, including the warnings. Well, because of that I don't believe anything about your Vista paranoia. Use it, give me proof of your problems with non-drm formats (you people said it happens with any format, so prove it), and only then I'll believe you. Until then, I'll just have fun with my current Vista Ultimate installation.
And somewhere near the end the article says
