Fascinating: Windows Vista has a DRM ‘feature’ that downscales HD content (e.g. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD) to a less-than-HD/better-than-DVD resolution for discs that request it (apparently, all major-studio releases do this). That means that the only true HD experiences on Vista will be with indie content and pirated major-studio movies. And now, consumers are buying HDTVs and are much more sensitive to video quality issues… (via) #
