Vista has a lot of built-in "security" functions that actually have nothing to
do with system security, only protecting "premium content" for the music
and movie industries. This adds complexity and cost with no benefit to
the actual customer.
A well-known security expert did
"A cost analysis of Windows Vista content protection".

His summary:
"The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute
the longest suicide note in history."
