It will be interesting to see how this pans out. When MCE was first released it was available OEM only. As time passed they loosed the reigns. Many in the industry predicted that we would never see CC in a PC product because of DRM issues. At CES I asked the Media Center staff about DRM. They weren't able to answer any of my questions. I won't be surprised if they don't even store the recorded files on a standard file system to even further protect the content.

This re-affirms a major DRM fear. In many regards DRM means no do it yourself products.
