    Media Center PC's and Microsofts stupidness.

    Welp,
    It appears Msoft still hasnt learned, and is STILL up to their stupidness. Apparently, they have coded MC XP to only allow DVD's burnt from the OS to pe played on the system in which it was recorded.

    Heres the article.

    I mean, i can slightly understand a need for right management, and to prevent mass distribution of so called "pirated" tv shows/movies, but come on. As the article states, you cant even tape your favorite shows, and watch them at your friends house, on the plane, or even in the next room! Thats asanine!! Am I totally offbase here?
