Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD

I've got a crisp new hundred dollar bill against which I'm willing to accept bets disputing the following proposition:

This system will be hacked, cracked, 0wn3d and rooted with a month of it's release 'to the wild', if that ever happens. In short, that this system is ultimately useless.

Microsoft has developed a cheap, disposable pre-recorded DVD disc that consumers can play only once.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
