"over time, more and more source material companies (those with actual content of value) will move to more protected systems."
Are you implying that the NY Times is a "source material company"? A company that writes about the exploits of others? It seems to me like they are profiting from the work of others.
Or, do they add value? If they add value, can others not add value to the NY Times pieces or is that where the buck stops?

As a home user, one on the only things that keeps me from changing to free alternatives like Linux is games support. I'm surprised MS hasn't released a Windows Gamer edition. Gap in the market right there.
