Microsoft recently delivered a crippled and crippling operating system called Vista. Peter Gutmann predicts Apple will try to sell us the same crap in OS X in the future. I don't want any of it.

So, when thinking about this issue, we have to ask ourselves: is a company like Microsoft or Apple likely to tell Hollywood to jump off a cliff? No, because both companies know that users will want to play HD DVD or Blu-ray discs on their computers.

Wrong. I value my computing environment more than that. If Apple builds these measures into it's OS, I will not use it. Ubuntu is a perfectly acceptable alternative.
