FAQ: Vista's strong, new antipiracy protections | CNET News.com
it looks as if the entertainment industry is also implementing technologies in TV's and recorders... I for one am not effected cause I have old analog equipment yet,But I was considering an HDTV in the future... I don't do much if not at all movie watching so I could care less about the technology on the way here... I am comfortable with xp in all the things I do,image manipulation,,,banking,,,the internet,,,and running my servers...

Vista is gonna require 40 gigs to run right,a lot of it was stolen from Apple (Oops,Microshit owns 40 percent of Apple Corp., I forgot)
Try Ubuntu with the KDE desktop...and no you don't have to be a real geek to use this.
F.A.T. Free and lovin it!!!
Oh...Its Free,Vista costs money!!!
ummm, vista does not have any "anti-piracy" protection as M$ only cares about not pirating their shit.... so if your copy is legit, everything else under that is cool. And just some food for thought, 4 years later after XP and its still not bug free, don't think for a second Vista will be flawless from the gate. And putting another OS or replacing your OS on your PC can be a headache, but it also be easy, so not every situation is the same.... But once again, if you have pirated programs, M$ can't do anything about it anyway, so no worries.
Good luck. and for games, it is not as bad as everyone says, its not the greatest.... so good luck ;)
you should really scroll up, and look at the link skink posted....Quote:
