With a Windows Update banner and forced reboot right at the climax of the movie.

Commodity hardware doesn't require Windows...

Though lets be honest, they'd probably use Windows anyways and that probably would happen.

A couple months ago, I've been to a 2020 anime feature film in a cinema here in Estonia. To my amusement, after the credits I was greeted with the VLC interface for a brief moment (though they've turned off the projector very quickly after that).

Edit: obviously, that's not how most movies are shown here :D

I wonder if that was because that film's distributor is relaxed about DRM, or if the cinema just decided not to care about licensing it assuming that an Asian (I guess) IP holder would be unlikely to find out or take legal action against a small cinema in Estonia?

It’s almost worse than that - the common commercial playback servers I’m familiar with run Linux 2.6.x and fail in all kinds of weird and wonderful ways!
