"Today, the PC industry needs Hollywood more than Hollywood needs the PC. Most consumers rely on traditional consumer electronics devices to view DVDs and TV content, but companies like Microsoft are betting on the converged digital home and desperately want a bigger piece of the media device market. Because of the DMCA, Microsoft has to get permission to build devices compatible with Hollywood's DRMed content. So when Hollywood demanded that Microsoft lard Vista with restrictions to access high-def DVD and digital cable content, the software giant was in a weak bargaining position."
That still doesn't explain why Vista is bloated or slow, since none of that DRM is even in place when that type of content isn't being played. Get your facts straight, and quit posting irrelevant information.
And what exactly did that have to do with waiting for SSD's?
