Yes, I spotted that too. That's why the MPAA will offer "enablement" while
Microsoft adds the "genuine advantage" 'feature' to Windows. Then,
all "pirates" will be fed to the sharks, "naked PCs" will wear a Vista gown
(DRM-enabling kernel), and "non-proprietary" systems will become extinct
(because, as we all know, "hacker" no longer means what it used to mean).
