With or without the glass? Computers run on dirty windows. The only choice there is, Computer or No Computer. My stereo sounds better than my computer though some have their homes configured in the reverse. I've also had glitches and been bombarded by a variety of spyware and the like all via the players that seem to magically appear on my system. The only solution for a dirty window is a good glazier on the job. Or the whole world switches to linux on the same day. Not likely, am I being cynical?

With regards to the shift key, that bypass seems to work on a particular brand of DRM called Mediamax. It may or maynot still work but my understanding is that it was originally released knowing how easy it would be to bypass the Eula and the DRM. Interestingly enough, while it does not circumvent the individual from copying and passing along copies to friends, it does hinder a bootleger from burning black market copies without DRM Drivers. Sorta goes from 'A' to 'D' paper in counterfeit finance lingo. Since Copying and passing copies to friends is really a marketing tool, it has been included as a feature in that brand of DRM. I believe it has potential if it can polish the window a little more. Time will tell.
