btw, just to point out
if you legally purchase a HD DVD then put it in your legally purchased computer with the licensed and paid for copy of windows vista on it, it will play it back at standard resolution, meaning you might as well have bought a standard DVD
their justification for this is that failing to do so would make you unable to play HD content, so to allow HD content to be played they restrict it to normal definition
how the hell does that make sense?
if you purchase a high definition copy of a film, then the only way to actually watch that film on your vista computer is to go and download it from a p2p network... basically piracy is the *only* way you can get high quality content on vista
their way to fight piracy, only allow pirate copies to work and stop all non-pirated copied from functioning properly... i bet whoever came up with that got a pay rise as well
