    This is why I have a local computer store build me my own PC's from the ground up. The big PC manufacturers are part and parcel of the system, so they will kowtow to each other to keep the peace. To hell with them; you don't need Dell or HP to build you a PC.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    From what I think I'm reading, protected content will simply not be able to be played on uncertified equipment and software. The OS is simply facilitating it's certification agreement for the legal ability to play the content on their systems.

    I can see this is going to go the way of ham radio equipment, cell phones, and console gaming systems. There are going to be hardware hacks to "open up" your disc players.
