Are you serious?

It seems like Microsoft is not actually trying to please the consumer at all! They are trying to please entertainment companies by giving them as much protection as possible. The main problem I see with this is that I haven't seen these entertainment companies going the extra mile themselves to protect their media. All they do is complain to Microsoft to fix their problem. Why don't they let Microsoft concentrate on making a distrobution of Windows that is more bug free and that makes use of resources efficiently.

So much for the PC becoming the center of the living room

Microsoft is knifing its own deluded dreams with this "feature".
