It's not going away. Eventually all games will have some copy protection of some sort or another.

Someone put up a DX9 vs DX10 comparison for the water. There is a big difference that's for sure.

SecuRom is not a rootkit. It runs at user level, not kernel level. For more info: Clearing the air: Bioshock does not contain a rootkit

It is also running VERY well on my rather aging comp.

f-secure.com also mentions the falacy of the root-kit rumors attributed to BioShock at the bottom of this article on another product.

I missed this interview Friday with Ken Levine. I think he answers the complaints quite well. There is every indication that the activation system has a lifespan and it will eventually be removed. Which should alleviate the "OMG, what if they go under and I want to play the game in 23 years" crowd.
