Vista and DRM - is it a hassle compared to xp?

Question

Im interested to hear from people who have used vista AND xp to make backups, particularly in regard to DRM on vista. Is it a huge inconvenience?

Please answer if you have the experience with both os's. Please dont if you havent. Thankyou.

Answer 1

One of the reasons Vista was written was to short circuit any DRM lawsuits against Microsoft - you can't copy DRM-protected content.  You can in XP.  (I'm currently running both.)
