An interesting and excellent essay by Bruce Schneier: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/02/drm_in_windows.html
>From the essay: "Windows Vista includes an array of "features" that you don't want. These features will make your computer less reliable and less secure. They'll make your computer less stable and run slower. They will cause technical support problems. They may even require you to upgrade some of your peripheral hardware and existing software. And these features won't do anything useful. In fact, they're working against you......" "Unfortunately, we users are caught in the crossfire. We are not only stuck with DRM systems that interfere with our legitimate fair-use rights for the content we buy, we're stuck with DRM systems that interfere with all of our computer use--even the uses that have nothing to do with copyright." "I don't see the market righting this wrong, because Microsoft's monopoly position gives it much more power than we consumers can hope to have...." _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
