| You got that right, Taylor01.
And it isn't just the DRM: Vista already has a number
of security flaws, some of which exploits have already
been written for. One of these allows privilege
escalation. And another one was being hawked at an
underground hacker marketplace for $50,000.
As for the DRM itself, Peter Gutmann's article ought
to be required reading for anyone considering Vista
as their next OS.

| "The homeland security implications of this seem quite
serious, since a tiny, easily-hidden piece of malware would be enough to
render a machine unusable, while the very nature of Vista's content protection
would make it almost impossible to determine why the denial-of-service is
occurring. Furthermore, the malware authors, who are taking advantage of
"content-protection" features, would be protected by the DMCA against any
attempts to reverse-engineer or disable the content-protection "features" that
they're abusing."
