DRM and Your Next Windows Upgrade

Vista may not be able to play your music and video as detailed by an article from Polish Linux. There is a good description of DRM and so-called trusted computing (meaning that the RIAA and MPAA can trust you, not that you can trust your computer). More is also present on the double-talking PlaysForSure and FairPlay systems. Any windows user should read through this article and determine how much they want to “trust” these systems.

By the way, the VideoLan Client (vlc) for windows seems very good. I have friends using it quite happily. You might check it out.
