Windows Vista virtuous tendencies

Microsoft it seems chose their camp. Windows Vista will be made a keeper of the law that would forbid playing files that it's illegal to use. To such an extent that the system would be able to deactivate video display in order to make impossible such a delictuous use.
For Marcus Matthias, chief of multimedia division from Microsoft, there's no alternative to this. Protections will get stronger and there will be many.
If that's Hollywood behind this very strict line, Microsoft and their monopoly seem to be quite eager to make it true.
Yet if one day consumers have no choice of what they could buy, or even rent as this has come to be trendy, they will still have the choice not to buy products they'd find too restricting to use.
