I had thought of doing something like that. I also would like to test and
see if there are any difficulties using the Vista BCD store entries in a
non vm environment. I'll do it on a secondary pc to minimize any damage.
It's just a learning exercise as I don't have any reason/wish  to migrate
to a DRM os.

As Rosoff's statement implies, many of Vista's DRM technologies exist not
because Microsoft wanted them there; rather, they were developed at the
behest of movie studios, record labels and other high-powered intellectual
property owners.
