So, I have installed Vista, and played around with it.. Now, after all the DRM hype, I am even a bit disappointed that.. I didn't find DRM so far! Seriously, where is it? I played so far MP3's, DVD's, some dodgy divx movies, listened to online radio, captured the stream from the online radio with audacity.. and nothing happened. Am I missing something? OK, I didn't try blu-ray and HD DVD...
