I have posted it a few times...for some reason, people are not really interested in reading it. He appears to know what he is talking about regarding the DRM implementation in Vista.

Peter Gutmann's article: "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection"

Darn. I have mutual funds which include Microsoft like 50% of all Americans out there. I'm screwed since Microsoft sucks. I"l switch to Apple before I'll buy Vista.

Good article. Microsoft attempts to return to the bad old days of "copy protection", this time with the collusion of the "content providers". Hopefully, users will revolt again and refuse to be browbeaten. I "just" installed Windows XP a fewe months ago (had been running Win98SE--having skipped the horrible Windows ME), and plan to run XP until the wheels come off. At that point, hopefully Novell will finally have the user hostility of Linux beaten into submission, and I can switch to that.

My business partner was telling me that he has been getting messages from Quickbooks with the message that older versions of Quickbooks WILL NOT WORK with Vista.

The corporate suits jumping on Vista upgrades are crazy - the kinks need to be ironed out, business case to be made, etc. The vista reviews are unfavorable.
