Peter Gutmann on Vista content protection

His article is a very interesting read. A quote: "The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history." The scary part is about automatic picture degradation while listening to music and its potentially disastrous consequences in medical applications where crystal-clear picture is needed for correct diagnosis.
