I actually alpha and beta tested Longhorn/Vista. I currently went back to XP pro as I grew tired of many user features hidden under layers of mouse clicks. XP is so much more user friendly, intuitive and faster. What the public does not understand nor comprehend is that Vista was not developed for them. Vista was created in a joint effort with Hollywood to stamp out piracy. DRM (Digital rights management) is a propretary software solution that microsoft created/tailor fitted baked deep inside of Windows Vista. It is designed to protect the so called premium content such as HD DVD (Sleeps with the fishes now! RIP) and Blu-ray DVD format. DRM is an unwanted spyware infection that causes the OS to que every 30 seconds to make sure you aren't doing anything they dub ilegal. Microsoft calls it 'trusted computing'. I call it spyware. This is the first OS that assumes that everyone is a criminal out of the box. Microsoft delibertly hobbled Windows Vista hoping to create a monopoly with their DRM software in a joint partnership with HollyWood. Since they hold like 90% plus of the OS market they could have said no and refused to cripple theri flagship OS. As a result we now have an OS that has a footprint of like 10X the memory and cpu usage of its predecessor. I think DRM copyrights should have simply stayed on the disc. The real fight now will be between Blu-ray DVD and regular DVD. If blu-ray loses so does microsoft and hollywood. Their spyware infected DRM plan to control the masses will hopefully fail. Thats sadi, I hate Vista and will steer anyone away from it like the bloody train wreak that it is. WOW this is a great site. I actually alpha and beta tested Longhorn/Vista.

Does Leopard work with her old webcam? Does the latest release of Ubuntu work with it? You sit here and blame Microsoft for not making Vista more backwards-compatible, but you completely ignore the fact that it's the most backwards-compatible OS on the market.
