Microsoft Digital Rights Management

Charlie Dimerjian at the Inquirer says Windows Vista is not an option because of the heavy-handed way it protects content. Karel Donk says maybe piracy is a better choice. In 2004 Cory Doctorow gave a talk about DRM to Microsoft in which he pleaded that they "turn the wheel on the old Buick". Peter Gutmann wrote an article about the performance overhead incurred by adding in DRM to the Operating System. So is this storm going to grow into a tempest for Vista?
