[News] Microsoft Apologist Disappointed with Vista, Looks Elsewhere

Uninspiring Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| How Microsoft's long-awaited operating system disappointed a stubborn fan. 
| 
| For most of the last two decades, I have been a Microsoft apologist. I 
| mean, not merely a contented user of the company's operating systems and 
| software, not just a fan, but a champion.

I have just read about Microsoft dropping FireWire support in Vista. How
convenient!

| 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.
