Trying not to replay an old record, but I have posted many times that as the RTM nears, there will more an more of the "Oh by the way" things in Vista. Perhaps many of these things are not new and have been around in previous Windows versions but it seems that MS is wanting to play hardball with Vista and these restrictions. It is seeming more and more that the
only control that we will truely have over Vista is whether we buy the OS. Once we have spent the money, we hand control to MS as to how we can use, test, display, benchmark, etc Vista. I, for one, see this as an invasion of my rights to use the OS however I please. There is no subsidy offered by MS in the purchase of the OS. It is
my money that is used to acquire Vista, therefore it should be, within normal reason, my choice as to how I use the OS. MS has gotten out of the people business and gotten into the software business. They seem to forget that it is the people buying the products that has made MS what it is today. Vista will probably not fail as a product in terms of sales but I doubt that any of my funds will find their way to Redmond for Vista...talker.
