#3Not only has Microsoft made the right decision, but it was really the only decision they could make. They cannot just ignore new security technology because some DRM was written to exploit Windows back two versions ago. It sucks that users get caught in the middle, but DRM always kind of did that by its nature (legit users get caught between the publisher and pirates).
The short is: DRM is malware, Microsoft secured Windows against malware, DRM broke.

#4If this doesn't convince publishers that DRM doesn't work as intended, I'm not sure what will.

#5No chance of running in a "Windows 7 compatibility" mode that allows the DRM to keep working?

#6This choice is long-term good if it reduces the use of DRM, but it's pretty user-hostile right now. No chance of running in a "Windows 7 compatibility" mode that allows the DRM to keep working?
Wouldn't a virus just try to run itself in compatibility mode? I'm not exactly sure how that would be scripted, but I could see a multi component attack using a method like that.
