You know how vendors keep telling us that DRM is just fine, and won't possibly cause us any grief? Well... about that:
“Dear Batman Arkham Fans Microsoft has begun the process of closing down Windows Live services over the next year. To make sure there is no interrupted service, we will be moving the game to Steam for verification and update services for both the Base and GOTY versions of Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City.”
“Unfortunately, you will not be able to continue playing from your current save. You will need to start a new game.”
So all of those movies and TV shows you've bought over the years? Perfectly safe, because Apple is a big, safe company - just like Microsoft :)

Ok, if you are on a Mac or Linux machine, try this in a shell:
traceroute 216.81.59.173
If you're on Windows, open a command prompt and use tracert. Give it a bit - the payoff is worth it :)

Cincom's Product Manager, Arden Thomas, had this to say in a VW-Dev list discussion today:
Just to note, we will likely NOT be moving the current CairoGraphics implemenation into production, but we ARE planning on big graphics ability improvements.
So it sounds like you're going to be on your own with the current Cairo implementation - but something interesting is coming down the pike....
