"Microsoft did something in the best interests of the consumer. Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse?"
Don't worry, the conspirists will come up with a way to spin-doctor this article to sound like MS has found a new way to screw people. It's already happening on Slashdot.
It does make me curious: which distros of Linux provide similar PVR support. Mmmm?
