You can truly think personly something is stupid (like DRM) but if those with the money demands it, you give it to them to stay in business. That's not hypocrisy (sp?) thats opertunism (sp?). And billy is the perfect example of such a guy! IMO it was not just plain stupidity of the engineers that their music playing device does not support these old DRMshit! “Otherwise he is just a stupid hypocrite.”

If Bill really wants to make a difference, then he should strip out the DRM in Vista completely! Otherwise he is just a stupid hypocrite.

What a hypocrite. There's far more advantage, from a convenience standpoint, to use illicit Microsoft software that doesn't call you a rat fink every time you buy a new video card.
