""...consider how Microsoft would be able to use that as a FUD/marketing thing. They could say that it clearly shows why their DRM solution is superior to any alternatives, as there is a strong backing of it. ""

That could cost them several(10s) Million in the process, and severely weaken their FUD efectiveness. But dont worry because they'll do tremendous FUD campaingns anyway, only at a much reduced cost.

"" From a technical standpoint it might not make any real difference ""

Oh yes it might. It could show real weakenesses that are now hiden by the technical ability of thounsands of administrators... im sure MS will never risk that. The rest, the rest is FUD.
