[Dixielandjazz] FW: Forbes Magazine - Why Vista's DRM Is Bad For You

[Mike]

It is a pretty bad thing, but it won't affect most of the users 
that currently have Windows XP(or earlier systems) installed on 
their computers. Microsoft will no doubt continue to support XP 
for another couple of years. By that time, they will have 
figured a way around the DRM or Microsoft might do away with it 
altogether.

I had a feeling when they released Zune(their own media player) 
something like this would happen.

I decided awhile ago that my new computer purchase will be a Mac 
anyway. Tired of all the windows viruses and updates. Multimedia 
stuff tends to run much smoother on a mac anyway.
