It is actually much better than VISTA except for the DRM which is even worse.

DRM is why I won't buy Vista. Not that I want to steal content, but if they want me to pay for a product, it needs to be developed to meet my interests AND NO ONE ELSE'S. And then there's the hardware theft. All those hard drive sectors, bytes of RAM, and CPU cycles, the hardware for which and the power to run which I PAID FOR!!! and which they're willing to sacrifice for the benefit of third parties not a part of the transaction to buy the software. They shouldn't expect to steal from me, call it "Rights Management", as if my rights needed managing, and still expect me to line up pay them for it.

Don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel about DRM.

I use Vista daily and have had zero DRM problems - what problems should I be seeing?
