Alert! Windows Vista is Scary.
After learning the awful truth, you may stick with XP. Or run screaming to Steve Job's room to tell him you just had the most surreal nightmare.
The new Microsoft OS constantly scans the content on your hard drive, and then plays judge, jury, and executioner with your hardware. I've heard from a friend that his machine got disabled by Vista because it detected mp3s without legitimate tags. Whatever the details are... it's not true from the truth that is surfacing:
Vista Crippled by Content Protection
Vista's Suicide Bomb: who gets hurt?
A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection
Anyway, here's the summary:
"The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history."
Be careful!
