It's not obsolete, some machines depend on legacy OS to run, switching to new OS means replacing the entire machinery and the cost runs into 5 to 6 digits or even more.

Anyone seen anything in the leaked XP/2003 source that relates to playback of DVDs (and especially anything related to DVD DRM and copy protection) or is that not in the leaked sources?
