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?

Agreed... some enterprise systems take decades to switch. Never completely obsolete, even if not officially supported.
