Does DRM really limit Vista?
Saturday, March 3rd, 2007
A lot of people have been screaming that Vista will deprive you of your rights with the inclusion of 
DRM technology. Bruce Schneier even referred to this DRM issue as a "security" issue for Vista even though he’s merely referring to existence of DRM capability. We’re hearing widespread rumors that DRM slows down game play. I even hear people blaming DRM for the lack of driver support in Vista. Is there really any truth to these accusations or is this simply anti-DRM anti-Microsoft hysteria? Are you actually being deprived of your rights by DRM? I realize that DRM is a controversial issue and I’m not here to endorse DRM, but I wanted to set the record straight on Vista and DRM so let’s examine the facts.
I’ve been running Vista for more than a week now and I’ve been able to play backed up DVDs and MP3s you’ve ripped which contain no DRM in them. I’ve also been able to play back DRMed content that I’ve either rented or purchased but no one forces me to buy DRM content and I can choose to only use restriction-free non-DRM content on Windows Vista. » Does DRM really limit Vista? | George Ou | ZDNet.com
