I think the problem is that writing neutrally about DRM is about as easy and makes as much sense as writing neutrally about drunk driving.

Sure, if you are a completely dispasinate automaton or alien then you might be able to write a very objective article about the economical impact of drunk driving, but just about anyone else is going to be biased because everybody is going to be hurt.

The DRM in Vista is going to be crap for everyone even people who don't use Vista, there is no reason to act as though it's just going to be a trip to happy fun land.
