Yeah, I am really scared about where this will all lead. Just another example, recently I came to the realization that the hotmail accout I used to love was totally screwed by Microsoft with their Live thing. For example, the Live inbox constantly tries to open Instant Messenger even though I deactivated it. I am to the point where I am getting rid of everything Microsoft except for my legitimate XP copy from 2002 mind you which I still use with SP1. I'll probably die still using it. lol

"THIS" is exactly why I abandoned M$ and installed Linux a year ago. I'll be damned if I put-up with this bull-shit!!! I feel safe knowing Linux isn't calling home giving out my personal info. Scanning my media files checking for so-called legal ones??!! Crippling my hardware installing "updates" on the sly without my permission. The minute I learned of PALLADIUM I RAN to Linux!! M$ has fucking "LOST IT"! You'll have to put a gun to my head before I install Vista!

I'm so glad we are getting more and more informed as a collectivity and not let any huge corporation run our lives and our own machines. Thank you to each and everyone who posts a commment here. My goal is to come to the point where most people will be aware of what is going and can have their freedom of choice. I know that once my XP doesn't work anymore, there is no way I will ever use another OS from Microsoft.

linux my man ill never install vista.

If M$ Forces an update on my system without my concent, i consider that the same as digital rape.

As you say, DRM sucks. Say no to it.

@breckstewart

feels like they want to change the concept of a personal computer into something like a personal console with keypad and mouse.

Windows 7 shit a fucking brick when I installed Roxio media creator.

Uninstalled it, and WOW! No more problems.

Windows 7 doesn't like you making your own cds. You don't have that right, apparently.

[gianlucanders]

like vista or 7 transformation pack?

[dragonballjiujitsu]

Thats odd. I have never had my Mac tell me I did not have the right to do anything with my music. Can people say the same for Vista?

[ikemkrueger]

Macs are far more crippled with DRM then a usual PC. It starts with the BIOS (EFI) and ends with components in the kernel.

If you wanna be "free", buy a regular PC and install a flavor of Linux* or BSD*.

*Linux Mint

*PC-BSD

The problem with Linux and BSD is, some hardware doesn't work very well with it (whoevers fault it is) and some software is not avaiable (but some other).

[PensieroCritico]

me too

[jonah1976]

LOL, you wanted a "fresh, impartial" view of Vista, so you used Goggle? You'll just find a bunch of paranoid dumb fucks puking out an endless wave of bullshit conspiracy theories, far reaching analogies, and completely made up stories. And you fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. Now infected, you spread your fear to others. Fuck you, faggot.

[Anothercoilgun]

You people have no clue about the true microsoft.

[cyborgtroy]

Yeah if Microsoft could have just improved the XP kernel a bit and added the new compositing GUI, it would have been pretty decent.
