So first of all the option to use or not to use DRM is up to the disc provider
Second:
Vista provides a basic for Software media player to use their built in DRM system.. So what happends is you insert the blueray disc the blueray disc says to the software player it wants DRM otherwise don't play.. the software player then asks the OS what kind of DRM it has available and Vista will respond on this mather I have this one.. If its all green light it will play.. If its not green light the blue ray disc doesn't play..
The same thing happends on XP or Ubuntu or whatever.. The difference is that Vista has a built in system which software players can use, so they don't have to build this themselves.. A big plus for developers
So as you can see the built in DRM of Vista is only an extra for Software player developers to use and has nothing negative to it as it is something that is also being used on XP or Ubuntu or whatever only there the software developers have to build the DRM system themselves.
DRM is a bad thing for the illegal torrent downloaders.. but for content providers its a good thing and its very good vista helps making DRM become even more standard by offering it built in their OS.
