This can only be called a nightmare. The only way i can see that it will not kill a lot of intrest in buying the drm'd is if you can convert from one drm format to another. The new optical drives are a case in point. The blue-ray and the HD DVD will read regular DVD's but will they read cd's? This would require the drive to have at least 3 different lasers. Even if they put the capability in the drives this time around, what about the next? I want to be able to convert the cd's into dvd's and so forth so I wont be upgraded into loosing a lot of my software. Its ok if its non-transferable to anther person but I still want to be able to upgrade to better formats. I will probably be getting Vista in the future since it has a lot of features I like but im keeping my old comp that will not kill my fair use peragative.
