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

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

All the really hip Jazz cats think outside the box and have been using 
Mac's all along :))

As does most of the Professional Media World.

Just like booking OKOM bands,  ya get what ya pay for   sometimes 
anyway :))

Cheers,

Tom "Show me the Money"  Wiggins  still spending and charging like I 
got it :))

It's about the same amount of work to sell a volkswagen as it is to 
sell a Lamborgini so do it once every six months and make the same 
commission check as selling fifty volkswagen bugs a month.    Quality 
vs. Quantity wins in the end.

   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.
