The idiocy is staggering.  I'll let the comments on that page say the rest.

The article is about retardedly complicated DRM and the bullshit customers have to put up with because of it.

Well basically you aren't getting the HD audio you are supposed to on Blu-Ray on the computer because they were more concerned with protecting their format than the necessary stuff.

Why the fuck would you want to use your PC as your HD home theatre system anyway?

Also, HD audio is only relevant and truly noticeable if you've got some fucking amazing sound system -- like top of the line stuff.  Only a handful of receivers supports HD audio anyway at this time.

To run MythTV or Windows Media Center.  There are perfectly legitimate uses.

While I agree with you, like Scottws said, a lot of people use their PCs as for their home theater because they like WMC.

No, HD audio is never noticeable, which is all the more reason not to saddle it down with hyper-restrictive DRM.
