>>I keep asking about W7 DRM and spyware/malware and never get answers.
What are the questions?
On DRM, I don’t use the Windows media player, and haven’t for a long time. I like VLC. So I’m not sure if I can answer.
On spyware/malware, I’m using Microsoft Security Essentials.
OK, thanks. Yes, on WXp, upon downloading a new release of W Media Player, it began installing all kinds of Vista-style DRM.
I stopped it and unistalled it (Not that you ever really can) and dowloaded the Prizm player, as well as VLC.
I have no stolen content, but that kind of stuff, that has people standing over my shoulder triggers the reflex one has when a person reads over your shoulder on the subway.
Kind of like Dell's "Helpful" software that comes with their machines.
