link please where MS says it does?

I think you have something called the Internet at your disposal, but incase you haven't worked out how to use a search engine, visit About Digital Rights Management (DRM) and protected content in Zune of course they don't openly claim to ruin your privacy but in case you forgot your reading glasses I'll quote a bit out of it:

DRM technology is used by content providers, such as online stores, to control how digital music and video files are used and distributed. Online stores sell and rent DRM-protected music and videos that have media usage rights to enable specific use of the content.

In layman's terms, your computer is completely vulnerable to companies that want to look at your personal data. Unlike before, when you could easily block the cookies, DRM is a built-in feature in Vista. Check out BadVista.org: Stopping Microsoft Windows Vista adoption by promoting free software — BadVista to read about the mess it creates.

so? compare 98 with Xp

Why should I? 98 offers nothing in comparison with Vista, Unlike this case, Vista doesn't offer much of an advantage over XP (and is infact at a disadvantage in most cases) to make its memory hogging properties seem worthwhile

see how sucky xp is?

No it isn't! its managing to run on an age old PC without crapping out during installation. Try to install Vista on an old P4 and you wont even have to blink until an error pops up saying "blaah blaah hardware not supported"

how big exactly is that list of yours?

not very big but thats not the point, its not the quantity but the simple fact that the game doesn't work!

but I'd like to know how much that is when comparing XP SP3 to Vista SP1, and not anything older.

I am not a computer technician you know, so learn to use a search engine instead of nagging me with your lame questions. I thing I can say, is that it wont be a minute early or so, because the whole Internet is choked full of criticism for Vista on this matter.

yes, and that's why you can blame it on the OS if it doesn't run on an old pentium.

My point exactly, just because we have Vista ready machines doesn't mean that the whole world does! They should be able to access the latest OS's as well, Xp allowed and still allows them to do that, but Vista (for obvious reasons mentioned over the past few pages!) doesn't
