The article is here: http://www.apcstart.com/site/dwarne/2006/08/1139/microsoft-cuts-another-feature-full-hd-playback-in-32bit-vist

And again M$ is pushing 64 bit computing... but is it really necessary? I think not...
Can you smell the DRM hell?

This is a gonna be a PITA to explain to clients. Telling them their stuff won't work with Windows Vista is not gonna make 'em happy. I'm amazed that many office evironments haven't switched to an XWindows or Linux windows environment yet especially with all this crap Micro$oft is dishing.

Just to settle the rumors once and for all: there will be no difference in out-of-the-box playback capability between 32-bit and 64-bit Vista.
