No DRM would simply mean NO MEDIA - the capacity to view digitally protected content would simply not exist. As for advances - I see my Vista installations loading programs faster, switching between applications quicker, booting in half the time, speeding through application installations that would take forever on XP (inexplicably), a workable searching/indexing system (for once), and a multitude of other improvements beneath the skin that smack of an awful lot more than a surface sheen. Even without Aero (and a plethora of, admittedly unnecessary, GUI alterations), Vista boasts a noticeably different engine under the hood. Of course - as you point out - it would have been nice to see a little more in the way of previous promised file-system innovations. As for the security measures... you mean User Account Control? I don't use it, and it annoys me that I can't stop the security warning from reminding me that I have disabled the idiot switch. I have no use whatsoever for it - I am quite capable of determining for myself whther or not FREESEX.JPG.exe is womething I want to click rabidly on. I've rarely seen security problems with Windows that can't generally be put down to poor practice, or user stupidity/ignorance ("Why in hell did you click on the 'install anal hack toolbar' button?!?") Finally though, I can't argue with you over your last line. Perhaps Microsoft's greatest problem at the moment is that their staff seem unable to keep anything under wraps. I often wonder just how much we don't know about half the stuff we apparently trust... I think it's just fashionable to bash MS, just as it's fashionable to bash the US at the moment. However little of it is deserved barely matters any more simply because it's just so much fun doing it! :p;):D [small][small][small][url=http://www.eyezmaze.com/eyezblog_en/blog/2005/09/grow_cube.html#monster].[/url][url=http://www.funnyjunk.com/pages/driving.htm].[/url][url=http://www.funny.com/].[/url][url=http://www.pixar.com/shorts/ftb/theater/short_320.html].[/url][url=http://www.mydesktophelp.com/tips/misc35.php].[/url][url=http://www.funnyjunk.com/pages/icon.htm].[/url][url=http://www.footrule.com/1/homepage.htm?sr=index].[/url][url=http://www.atomfilms.com/film/ewok.jsp].[/url][url=http://www.animationfactory.com/en/].[/url][url=http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/].[/url][url=http://support.radioshack.com/support_tutorials/audio_video/digvid-glossary.htm].[/url][url=http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/entertainers/actors/arnold-schwarzenegger/].[/url][url=http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cosmic/earth_info.html].[/url][url=http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/].[/url][url=http://www.i-am-bored.com/].[/url][url=http://www.annoyances.org/].[/url] [url=http://whyfiles.org/086urban_critter/3.html].[/url] [url=http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/].[/url][url=http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/archives-spr03.php].[/url][url=http://www.sa.rochester.edu/drama/skinhead.html].[/url][url=http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html].[/url][url=http://www.freemars.org/jeff/planets/Luna/Luna.htm].[/url][url=http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=21690].[/url][url=http://www.appliedozone.com/index.html].[/url][url=http://www.world-english.org/facts.htm].[/url][url=http://www.tweaksrus.com/].[/url][url=http://www.starterupsteve.com/swf/dubdub.html].[/url][url=http://www.heptune.com/farts.html].[/url][url=http://www.freeware-guide.com/].[/url][url=http://www.cubeengine.com/].[/url][url=http://www.atomfilms.com/films/angry_kid.jsp].[/url] [url=http://www.seethru.co.uk/zine/features/legal/index.htm].[/url][url=http://www.hints-n-tips.com/].[/url][url=http://www.vectorpark.com/].[/url][url=http://spiders.ucr.edu/dermatol.html].[/url][url=http://www.hotscripts.com/JavaScript/Scripts_and_Programs].[/url][url=http://www.funnyjunk.com/].[/url][url=http://www.cybercomm.nl/~grsmurf/funny3.htm].[/url][url=http://www.autohotkey.com/].[/url] [url=http://www.metacafe.com/watch/241591/family_guy_annoying_stewie/].[/url][url=http://wantdbest.com/freeware/utilities.html].[/url][url=http://www.rotten.com/].[/url][url=http://www.webapplist.com/].[/url][url=http://gizmag.com/go/7164/].[/url][url=http://www.deepbox.com/funny_pictures-1.html].[/url][url=http://badmash.tv/movies.php?v=singhson].[/url] [url=http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/id/21].[/url][url=http://www.shoutfile.com/v/Pi2VPND7/Beer_Helping_Ugly_People_Get_Dates_Since_1865].[/url][url=http://www.webapplist.com/].[/url][url=http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=258].[/url][url=http://www.deepbox.com/funny_pictures.html].[/url][url=http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html].[/url][url=http://www.diynetwork.com/].[/url][url=http://baita.mugu.co.uk/].[/url][url=http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/].[/url][url=http://www.vectorpark.com/].[/url][url=http://psp3d.com/off-topic/12240-tutorial-how-google.html].[/url][url=http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm].[/url][url=http://www.puppyos.com/download/downpage.htm].[/url][url=http://www.dreammoods.com/].[/url] [url=http://www.bbspot.com/News/2003/03/rwbsod.html].[/url] [url=http://www.funnyjunk.com/pages/madness.htm].[/url][url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/guernsey/6591365.stm].[/url][url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314458].[/url][url=http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/a].[/url][url=http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/].[/url][url=http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/index_en.html].[/url][url=http://www.howstuffworks.com/].[/url][url=http://www.cannabisculture.com/backissues/cc11/christ.html].[/url][url=http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp].[/url][url=http://www.subservientchicken.com/].[/url][url=http://www.pixar.com/shorts/index.html].[/url][url=http://www.mydesktophelp.com/tips/win179.php].[/url][url=http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/].[/url][url=http://www.eyezmaze.com/].[/url][url=http://www.chris.com/ascii/].[/url][url=http://www.asciimation.co.nz/].[/url][/small][/small][/small] Loading...
