Title : Microsoft: 32Bit Vista Will Play Protected HD Video 
Date : 2006-08-25 
Code : The web exploded yesterday with the <a href="http://www.apcstart.com/site/dwarne/2006/08/1139/microsoft-cuts-another-feature-full-hd-playback-in-32bit-vista"> news</a> that Microsoft would cripple 32bit versions of Vista so they would not play protected high-definition content. However, Microsoft was <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/windowsvista/archive/2006/08/24/450081.aspx"> quick to respond</a>, stating: "The community is buzzing withreactions to APC Magazine's article regarding playback of protected High Definition content in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista. However, the information shared was incorrect and the reactions pervading the community are thus (understandably) ill-informed. The real deal is that no version of Windows Vista will make a determination as to whether any given piece of content should play back or not."</i>
