I'd also whack the marketing genius who came up with the "Plays for Sure" label upside the head.
In this case, the marketing gaff is as bad as the DRM itself. (And it also makes one wonder how much DRM and marketing go hand-in-hand. Microsoft seems to have an issue lately with marketing snafus. They've always had issues, yes -- but the idea of "Plays For Sure" and "Vista-capable" makes me realize that marketing [in general] is even more bullshit than I'd always suspected.)
