One thing that seems to be missing in all this discussion of how to break this scheme is that in the largest market for PCs (the US), reverse-engineering or 'breaking' it will be completely illegal and very prosecutable, thanks to the DMCA. This will have a significant damper on legitimate free drivers, to say the least.

Very handy for the agendas of both "content" providers and Microsoft.
