   My understanding - Unfortunately, it does not yet mean that Geo can play
unprotected HD video on his Vista with 3rd party players.

   It's just a demonstration that malware that attains "root" level on
Vista has a place to hide by masquerading as DRM.   Anti-Virus cannot
inspect DRM processes, so they are expected to look the other way when DRM
processes come along.  That sets a dangerous precedent...
