Vista worth it? Maybe? Maybe not?

Postby Marbles_00 on Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:20 pm

I found a couple of controversial articles on Vista's DRM implementation. This first link is an interesting read:
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/p ... _cost.html - by Peter Gutmann

And the next link is Micro$ofts attempt to counter the article. Looking at the posts after would appear that not all people buy what Micro$oft says. Most think it's just lawyer jargon crap actually.

And this post
http://www.miraesoft.com/karel/2007/01/ ... -in-vista/ is a direct article against Micro$oft's

And while I'm on a roll, I've add this one just for the heck of it:

Make it out the way you want, I hope all enjoy the articles.
I don't know, maybe waiting on purchasing this "Great OS" is in the cards for me. All this DRM crap really sucks.

I managed to read only the 1st article, quite long, but very interesting!

I have Vista on 1 notebook, and quite like some features, but after reading this I'm tempted to reinstall XP... :-)

Thanx for posting these links!
