Just to clarify, what Microsoft is saying here is that their Senior Program Manager Steve Riley said the wrong thing during his presentation at Tech.Ed Sydney. APC reported his comments accurately based on a transcript of the event.

However, regardless, Microsoft is making a very specific semantic point here: Riley did say yesterday that the restrictions were made at the behest of content owners, so Microsoft is really just restating here that content owners have the ability to veto their content from being played on 32bit systems.

I've asked Microsoft for a list of the high-definition DRM systems that WILL play on Vista 32bit and which ones won't, so some further clarity can be bought to the story.

Apart from VC-1, will Vista play/decode the following out of the box without third party decoders:
1. MPEG-4 Simple profile/Advanced profile
2. H.264 which is mandatory for HD DVD and Blu-ray
3. Dolby Digital (AC-3) 5.1 (DVD)
4. DTS 5.1 (DVD)
5. Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD? (HD DVD/Blu-ray)

Has anyone else gotten a security certificate error signing into this web page for the past 10 days and if so why?

Is this story at this point still an enigma enshrouded in a mystery to use an old phrase I learned years ago in school?

Also could there be please be some "real clarification" of this information?

How about a list with clarity on the number of features dropped from Vista as it hurtles toward RTM in October from 5536 + one build?

hey someone:

Here's what I know on your questions:

DD (AC3): Yes, in Premium & Ultimate
DTS: No
DD+: No
MPEG-2 audio: Yes, stereo only in Premium & Ultimate

MPEG-2 video: Yes, in Premium & Ultimate

H.264: No (This is mandatory for both Blu Ray & HD-DVD but most if not all labels are using VC-1 for HD-DVD today)

MPEG-4: Yes, we have been supporting this in XP as well.

Hope this helps.
