not sure if anyone's jumped on the Vista bandwagon yet, but my loathing for
it runs deeper than my distaste for XP
a neat review of the offending OS lies here
"In a controversial technical analysis Peter Gutmann goes into fantastic
detail about the recently released Vista operating system and its content
protection scheme. One thing became clear to me after reading this
analysis. Vista is being marketed to content producers, not consumers. If
Windows XP was Microsoft's attempt to embed a browser into the operating
system then Vista is the attempt to embed DRM. Digital Rights Management
technology has been applied to literally every ring of the OS architecture"

wrth a look if anyone's thinking of 'upgrading'
k
Thanks Karl.......
I don't see myself "upgrading" to vista untill A: I have to, B: it has
all the bugs worked out, this could take a year or more, C: I have a pc
powerfull enough to handle all of the overhead and still do what I want
it to do, D: I have to.........
Someone once told me that he considered windows to be a virus......
There are times that I have to agree with him.
