Microsoft to remove Sony CD code

Just found this and i think is worth pointing out.

The software giant said a key part of the XCP copy protection system counted as malicious software under the rules it uses to define what Windows should be protected against.

I also found a list of most of the CD's that have the software on them here

So does this mean that all the previous titles that were released with the copyright protection software will be re-issued with out it? Also I think the newer DVD's have the same issue. I just purchased a movie and was unable to archive it. And it is a 2006 Sony release.
