      I’ve never been a Linux fan but Microsoft seems determined to turn me into one.

        I agree, with a slight correction: I find it appauling how Microsoft is required to do this.

          They are not required to do anything. First of all they can never stop software piracy. Secondly the music and movie industry needs Microsoft more than vice versa as you can read under the section Mini-FAQ "4. Microsoft is only doing this because Hollywood/the music industry is forcing them to." in the cost analysis document. I wonder what will come next.

            They are required to do it if they want to allow their customers to 'use' premium content. Microsoft is very much pushing into the home connection and entertainment arena, so they don't really have any choice. If they don't adopt it then people won't be able to use Windows Vista to run their high-end entertainment centres. Their hands are being forced into this. Don't assume this will affect you if you don't plan to use premium content with Vista -- it won't. Even if you do, it is very unlikely it will cause any significant problems. That cost analysis FUD document was dragged through the Lounge last week so I have already read and responded to it accordingly, as have others.

                        :-) Alternatively, Ubuntu is free and doesn't require buying new hardware... ;-)
