Answer 1

Is this for real?
"Since S/PDIF doesn't provide any content protection,
Vista requires that it be disabled when playing
protected content [Note E]. In other words if you've
sunk a pile of money into a high-end audio setup fed
from an S/PDIF digital output, you won't be able to
use it with protected content.
Very real!
I have heard the writer in an interview on a security program
and they went into all the problems this is going to cause.
There are people who have bought large screen tvs that
will not work with Vista because the company did not put
the required hardware into the device,(because they did not
want to pass the cost on to the consumer and raise the price
of their product). Not only that but the required DRM that is
mandated in connected devices is supposed to disable itself if
it senses someone trying to get around the protection.
Plus, if you create your own HD or high quality audio, who is
to say that Vista wont try and protect it from yourself!
Microsoft has bowed down to the movie industry by putting this
so far down into the core of the operating system that I see this
as a incentive to piracy and switching platforms.
Say your on a skype call and you start playing a piece of music
with DRM, your connection would probably be gone since audio
is all routed the same.
A fluctuation of voltage could be interpreted as a attack and trigger
tilt bits that cause subsystems to reboot and denial of license to
drivers. So just a power surge could cause some of your system
to stop working not because of the surge but because Vista
felt threatened.
The real pirates will figure out how to get around this and
it will just be a problem for normal users.
I new they were not bright but this takes stupidity to a whole
new demension.
