I was reacting more to the HDCP worm extrapolation.
I haven't seen anything that turns me off to Vista (I think my next primary system will have Vista in its multiboot), but that's because I don't use my computer for playing things that play in DVD players.
If I did want to do that, the choice for the Windows in the next system would be clear: Windows XP. I've seen way too many reports of Vista systems being unable to play legally purchased DVDs on legally purchased hardware. [I'd guess the problem is not having native DirectX 10 drivers for the video card, but still....]
