David Gerard writes "Security researcher Peter Gutmann has released A
Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection, a detailed
explanation of just what the protected-content paths in Windows Vista
mean to you the consumer: increased hardware cost and even less OS
robustness. 'This document analyses the cost involved in Vista's
content protection, and the collateral damage that this incurs
throughout the computer industry ... The Vista Content Protection
specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in
history.'"
