One thing a lot of people don't get is that these exact same restrictions are going to be in any OS that wants to display HD in native resolutions. Unless someone has facts to prove me wrong I'm pretty sure that neither OS X or Linux can playback HD-DVD or BlueRay at native resolution without any DRM (HDCP) in place.]]>Jan 29th 2007 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/Jan 29th 2007 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/
Interesting. Perhaps ReactOS plays some role in this, like using modified components or something (as some ReactOS files can be used in stead of the Windows ones).]]>Jan 29th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/
So they didn't really know who that Viodentia guy was/is anyway? Isn't that somewhat strange, suing him like that? Just hypothetically speaking... what if he turned out to be a lot of people, like a whole lot of people, all holding relatively equal responsibilty? Say he really turned out to be everyone opposed to DRM?

Metaphorically, he is. Suing him is a bit of a slap in the face, if there were any way for supporters to come immediately to his aid that would be different. I'm not aware of a direct way of doing that...

I'm not saying it isn't dishonest to break your agreement with a company, but when the agreement is so widespread hard to oppose I don't expect anyone to keep it. It's a corporation, with a mixed reputation at that, people don't feel like they're hurting anyone. I'm not suggesting that they really are, Microsoft won't go out of business over this. Worst case scenario they'll lose their hold of the market. Certainly wouldn't want that happening.

Go Alex.]]>Jan 30th 2007 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/
Microsoft want me to pay them to upgrade to this pile of s****

As usual I'll be forced by 'Only works on Vista'.

All I want is an 'instant on' OS that uses minimal resources, doesn't bother me with who wrote it and sits in RAM so i can reset the whole thing when it gets virused.

Microsh*te are holding computing back in the dark ages, a computer can be so much more than a Microsoft bitch.]]>Jan 30th 2007 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/Jan 30th 2007 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/Jan 30th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/29/windows-vista-protected-media-path-drm-already-broken/Jan 30th 2007 12:22PM
