Funny how Vista sales are improving.

E.g. counting Vista downgrades to windows XP, as a Vista sale twists normal sale logic.

Big Companies like Intel (and Intel has helped Microsoft on the Vista coding), and Daimler is skipping Vista installations completely.

Yes:

Explains it techwise.

But better/faster playback can still be done on Windows XP, with a Blueray protection disabler, and e.g. Powerdvd

Thanks. Is there any reasonably accessible documentation on this sort of scenario (with, for exmaple, flow diagrams for different types of media) ? All the stuff I've seen so far only concentrates on the scenario of playing back DRMed content in Vista.

No it will not with vlc player, but if playback is from windows mediaplayer it will.

Protected path is also checked with blueray enabled playback programs like powerdvd.

Are the PVP-OPM and PUMA subsystems engaged when all media is being played, or only media which is DRM-encumbered ?

Eg: if I fire up a video in VLC, will it have to traverse the "protected paths" for video and audio ?

Just spent an hour trying to fix Windows Media Center and Media Player. Turns out the DRM MALFUNCTIONED and shut everything down. This would go along with the near constant problems I have with the "genuine Windows" nonsense where the software keeps fooling itself into thinking it's not genuine, and the similar problems with all of the Office 2007 products. I could go on for days, but bottom line is that, while I'm no Apple fan, nor Linux using MS-hater, and while I've used every Windows since 3.1 on numerous machines, Vista is an absolute, unmitigated disaster that has nearly succeeded in crippling my business. I've gotten to where I stand up and cheer at the Apple commercial where the lady with the yoga school who is trying to teach the Gates look-alike to meditate blows her stack after talking about what Vista did to her business. It is going to take me a lot of work and effort, but MS has forced me to switch to Linux. I don't like it, but my survival depends on it. The DRM is just one more scary example of Vista basically being a bunch of viruses lurking on my computer. I'm not paying good money for an OS and apps that do not respect my property, or show any concern for the damage done to me in lost time and functionality. So long Vista.

i miss itspec; he had good points ... seems like its now a pissing contest between what people want and what microsoft/media companies want to provide.

The only thing i can say is i think microsoft did a major change in vista sometime during the design process and prior to its release that comprimised the whole operating system. Whether this is do to drm or not i cannot say for sure; but i tend to think that it did..

Just found that Vista supposedly stops playback of anything super-hi-res, so have to modify what I say with an added delay, there has to be a hack found to get around that. *If it's true, it's 24hrs since I saw a bed..

Why is everyone getting so steamed up?

How long do you think it will take for someone to come up with a patch that prevents the crippling of other functions if you accidentally access something 'critical'?

Once that's been done, there will be no need for special players, plain video (straight compression) equivalents will be available for any video that anyone fancies watching, no need for special 'GreenRayGun' players or anything, just a bit of software that will play unprotected hi res video plus access to the world-wide-LAN.

Firewall off anything that looks like a cripple code, don't try playing anything that might require 'authentication' and stick to the plain-vid equivs that will be released (usually before the premiere).

Don't run any DVD players, don't buy any discs from Sony, and don't let microsoft updates any closer than next door's XBox.

They're trying to lock the stable door after enough horses have left to start an alternative population in the next valley.

Hibernation file (size of installed mem), and swap file + windows installetion, would get you close the the 7gb.

But anyway Vista installation disc without integrated Sp1 will also have trouble. (neither seen speed or abilities improve (disabling security software is not a beneficially thing is does))

SP2 would hopefully only improve things
