Read a part of it. Hate to say it because I love to hate MSFT but it's more the fault of the entertainment industry imposing restrictions and standards that are difficult to implement without hurting the consumer.

Go look up Sony's root kit issue from last year and read the usage rights policy. Example from it, if you bought an audio CD in the US you could not legally take the content outside the US. So if you wanted to take it on vacation in say Greece, legally you were in violation of your "license".

But how would they know? Well if you put it into a computer that had internet access the root kit had the ability to report your location.

And people ding Apple for their DRM on iTunes? Blaming the wrong people.
