With eMoviX CDs it is not that you *have* to reboot to watch it, it is 
just that you *may* reboot to watch it.
Anyway, the day you'll bring a movie CD at your friend's house and won't 
be able to play it because they only got Winblow$ and they don't have 
the right plugin or the win playback is just shity you are gonna regret 
what you said   ;-)

Why? Are your HD connectors *glued* to the drives?
If you are paranoid as you seem to be, you can always unconnect them 
during the playback...
Moreover, usually you use eMoviX for your own CDs, I hope you trust at 
least yourself ;-)
