Interesting read. Read some of it. I'll have to read the rest later.
Couple notes:
1. Unless you can find a Vista copy without all the built-in protection then
all those numbers are nothing more then theory. Sure there's overhead but
does the overhead amount to anything tangible? Anything a human sense can
notice?
2. "Sony has refused to license it for playback on PCs (SACD)" - How is this
MS' problem?
SACD is crap anyway. Fork out the cash for DVD Audio!

Interesting viewpoint and I think quite reasonable.
Particularly with reference to the increasing burdens placed on hardware
manufacturers by DRM requirements it does show the "Microsoft can do no
wrong, it's all the hardware makers fault" brigade who post here with
some pretense of knowledge as the bigots they really are
Not only have people like NVidia been forced to work around specs they
probably don't like much they have also been challenged to produce
systems with ever increasing quality - not easy to make such drastic
changes and yet improve hardware at the same time.
Any comments on this?
