[ale] Microsoft tries to reverse Vista's Impact on the environment

[Jim Kinney]

The DRM stuff that dominates the Vista OS uses loads of cpu cycles to
encrypt and decrypt  stuff to keep people from being thievin' scum
bags and depriving the poor movie and music studios of their well
deserved monies. It has gone so far as to encrypt data en-route to the
HDMI-capable TV set so movies can't be copied using the "analog hole"
.

Many ideas have been suggested for ways to help Microsoft fill their
analog hole....
