DRM gone wrong. Yet another reason for me to be happy about ditching WinXP altogether. To me, Win2K is so much less intrusive/pervasive; & I certainly don't need "user-friendly..." blech. Sassy Sander Sassen over at HardwareAnalysis might be thinking along the same lines as me, now that he's gone through this nightmare...

"DRM is actually a part of Microsoft 's Windows XP operating system and has been for a while, but it wasn't until I picked up a dvd recently that I witnessed the ugly and very user unfriendly side of DRM in person. The dvd in question, T2: Extreme DVD, produced by Artisan Home Entertainment Inc., is a two-dvd disk set, which holds a digitally optimized version of the T2 movie on one disk, and a high definition version of the same movie on the second disk, encoded in WMV9 format."
