I haven't read all of it yet but wow. When Vista came out there was talk
about some of this. At the time no one was sure what would happen. Now
we know.

At the moment I don't think this means much. Not enough HD content and
no place to play it. Well, sort of. I suppose if one wanted to wade
through the see of options and false marketing one could put together an
HD entertainment system.

I wonder if Linux and open source can take this on. They say you can't
watch DVD's on Linux but we do. Does this mean someone will find a way
to watch HD content as well?
