Why I Can't Recommend Friends and Family Upgrade to Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're one of the readers of this blog who has ever asked me for
| technical advice, then this post is for you. Microsoft, next month,
| is releasing Vista, the next version of its operating system series,
| Windows. Vista has been touted as the next big thing from Microsoft.
| Its big already. Its a rhinoceros. Its horned, its blind, and its
| dumb - and it wants to take over your computer. After doing some
| reading and some research I can?t recommend anyone upgrade from
| Windows 2000 or Windows XP to Windows Vista.

| Dawn decided that Vista wasn't worth the upgrade if she didn?t even
| get the pretty bells and whistles, besides, using a computer without
| your mouse might be pretty annoying!

Scary Technology: Microsoft Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| If ever an operating system needed the software equivalent of
| garlic and wolfbane to keep away evil spirits, Microsoft Windows
| would be it. It's a magnet for hackers, and hardly a week goes by
| without Microsoft issuing a software security patch, or a patch
| for the security patch, or a patch to patch the patch. The
| result is a Frankensoftware monster.

Cost analysis of Vista DRM: Part II
,?-[ Quote ]
| Microsoft doesn?t merely use DRM. To all intents and purposes it
| is DRM, better known as Digital Rights Management, Digital
| Restrictions Management or or just plain CRAP for Content
| Restriction, Annulment, and Protection, as ZDNet?s David
| Berlind called it, eventually deferring to Richard Stallman?s
| Cancellation, Restriction, and Punishment. We call it, simply,
| CCG, short for Consumer Control Gear.
