Great secure OS you designed Microsoft

Vista is so secure that I can't even do a simple thing like watch
videos at youtube. You locked the gates but you also locked me out in
the process. Linux is a more secure OS too and I have no problem
viewing youtube on that OS. Get rid of that DRM crap too as it is
already causing issues with memory address space allocation. In the
meantime I will use XP as my main OS until Vista is ready for prime
time. By then I expect I will have to buy a new version of the OS. As
it is now Vista is just a novelty OS to me.

I have no problem watching anything on YouTube on my Visa machines. There
is no problem with the OS that prevents youtube.
Maybe you should learn a little more about it and understand how the
security model works.

Please feel free to provide details of YOUR memory alloc issues with DRM.

Um, the music industry, specifically EMI, is learning that DRM is not a
good thing. When will MS wake up?

Microsoft will respond when the entire media publishing industry (music,
movie etc) all no longer wish to use DRM.
Until that time DRM is a technology that a publisher CHOOSES to use to
protect THEIR content.
This is not a Microsoft issue - it is one entirely of the media industry and
the piracy of their products making.

When the music industry drops DRM, Microsoft will likely be "glad" to offer
a patch to remove or disable it in Vista.

Yet another good reason to wait on Vista. I suppose the music and film
industry put a gun up to MS' head and forced them to include DRM in
Vista ...

The question is not what they may or may not do in the future but why
they included it in the first place. Did the music and film industry
hold a gun to their head or what?

Go away, troll !

For Microsoft to include the technologies they did, yes, a gun was held to
their head. Comply or don't offer HD video. BTW, video card manufacturers
had to comply also - so why don't you rail against them?

But you already knew, this as it was addressed in one of your mile long
threads many months ago.
