Vista's DRM crippleware will surely lead to a fall in Windows faith.
People will realize that not being able to play their favorite music
without buying it just doesn't cut it. Vista's DRM is going to leave
Windows' days of popularity numbered. I know very few people who actually
buy their music via online services such as iTunes Store. Most of my
friends have MP3 collections, and finding that they're unable to play
music is surely not going to be fun. MS will surely defend against
anti-DRM hacks with its WGA crap, leaving machines unable to access
critical system updates and therefore compromising system security. People
will not spend more money on Macs, and they'll be left with one option:
FOSS.
I've said it a million times and I will say it again. I'm not anti-MS. I
believe that you should be allowed to do whatever the hell you want with
your computer - you bought it. DRM is going to be Windows' demise for
sure.
