Not a single person working in professional Audio or Video is going anywhere near this new Vista system. Digital Rights Management (DRM) isn't just an option in this box. It's a set of rules that makes it impossible for developers to create a high quality product, because anything approaching High Def has been barred from certification in development and digitally degraded on purpose by the rendering engine... in other words, if you want the best quality it will be impossible to pass it through anything with Vista involved without having it's quality reduced to stone age proportions, based on their decision that anything owned or played can't be managed, so the simple solution to the mere possibility of copying anything of quality is to affect the quality of the transfer at the source, in the rendering chain.

It's like going to a cable company for a High Def Signal, but the only way you can see it is by watching it on an old B&W Portable. DRM affects Audio and Video, and having any media files at all on your drive will also open the door to external illegal monitoring by the same folks who now want everything we own to be registered in a national database and verified each time we play them for our systems to work.

Vista is also only allowed to go through 1 computer upgrade re-registration. If your HD crashes, it is seen as a change in computer and the entire registration process for all your software is only going to be available until that drive crashes, then you will have to buy a new OS again for your computer to work. It's a complete mess and waste of money.
