New Windows OS - VISTA Problem???

If you guys haven't heard, well probably next summer Microsoft will be coming out a New Windows called Windows Vista.
This OS is all about security and more security.

Win Vista was orginally called Longhorn.
Sure this sounds really good for security, but how will it change the whole experience/use that you got used to?

They are so strict into security that when inserting a new high definition DVD you won't be able to watch it on the new computer, even if it is a HIGH-END computer.

If your monitor doesn't support PVP-OPM, then all you will see is fuzzyness - it is a warning that shows you that the display has been revoked.
Many DVDs in the future will be Blu-Ray and HD-DVD prevents most dvd players to stop displaying any motions.
According to Microsoft, PVP-OPM is to prevent bootlegging and ripping [sharing on the internet via downloading] DVDs.

PVP-OPM: Protected Video Path Output Protection Management. Downgrades video resolution or blocks the picture entirely if the connected display doesn't support content protection.

In my opinion, this will cause a lot of people not to buy Win Vista, since this might cause so many problems to most users that love watching movies on the PC.
