Close. The answer is actually that consumers don't want this.

Uhhhh ... how ... what ... how did you jump to this all of a sudden ? I must agree you are a shill for M$ ... no better way to put it ...

As for a DRM crack ... I'm sure there are teams of hackers working on that problem as we speak .... hackers need porn too :D

Ummm. Common sense? Years of experience supporting thousands of end users who use Windows? What makes you think that your average consumer would want some antiquated command line OS on their new PC? What would they use it for?

Is this refering to Linux ? If so you are very wrong ... which seems obvious ...

CONSUMERS DO NOT WANT DRM. If MS did what consumers want, and only what consumers want, they would not support DRM.

With proper marketing, consumers will think that DRM improves DVD quality.

If Linux supports DRM, I hope it isn't forced. I may not want to go and buy a digital monitor just to watch DVD's on my PC. As I am hoping to start a business based on Linux media systems, I don't want the extra work of DRM to sort out.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

My point still stands.

I'm not sure in what ways DRM would/will be supported on a free operating system. Anything that's supposed to go into the kernel, anyhow, I can compile without very easily. There are tonnes of free media players. If all the developers lose their heads and try and enforce DRM, I can fork their programs.

Back on topic.

Command line OSes are obsolete (as far as most applications are concerned), but the command line isn't many tasks are faster because you can use wildcards and it's faster to type than use the mouse.

Just a thought but most modern GUI file managers are shit in one respect, they don't allow you to use a wildcard filter, does anyone know of any that do?
