I’m no more a fan of DRM than the next guy (as long as he hates the idea that is!) but i think we need to remember one important thing about this whole “DRM in the OS + Hardware thing”.

It’s being written by MS.

So it’s probably not going to be any more effective/usable/useful than anything else they’ve ever written. It always seems to take them 3 versions or 2 service packs to get it to where it should have been for the first release.

I won’t be bothering with it, but i’m sure i’ll have a whole lot of fun watching ppl who have bought it TRY and use it. Not to mention the temper tantrums of the “content owners” WHEN it all gets cracked wide open within a few days of release.

That was a funny insider joke …. “anti-soyware, anti-trojan”

The posters on p2pnet.net are witty!

well.. there goes the SINGLE BENEFIT they were touting in return for you accepting a completely locked down and fritz chipped system.

Their new slogan should be “we stand in awe of your potential, but refuse to let you realize it because it may hurt the profit margins of our partners”

Those that are awaiting the new release of Vista can already see the future coming. It may not be these virus scripts. The virus scripts are not really that damaging. They are only proof of concept not the real deal. You can be assured that the true virus writers will be up to the task of continuing to make your life miserable in the line of Windoze products. Go ahead and get ready to shuck out for new firewalls, anti-virus, anti-soyware, anti-trojan, and anti-everything. The philosphy that Microsucks deals with requires it on a regular basis.

Me? I don’t worry about it. I’m on linux.

Wow, a virus BEFORE the software is even released!

Now, that’s what I call fast service!
