Quote - I'd like to know, kawecki, just how you propose to "get rid" of Vista.  Are you going to call the major computer manufacturers and tell them to not include Vista?  Are you going to call every major corporation on the planet and tell them to not migrate their hundreds of millions of users to Vista?  Are you going to e-mail everyone on the planet who is looking forward to Vista to not upgrade because you think it's a bad idea?  I have very bad news for you, kawecki, you're not going to be successful

Forget Hollywood and return to the real world.
Have you realised that what makes Windows usable are Antivir,  Avg,  SpyBot,  Ad-aware, ZoneAlarm,  Firefox.? and all of them are for free!!
Windows exist not due the major corporations of the planet, it exist thanks to small or tiny companies or by simple people that makes Windows work.
It's only enough that these people stop giving support to Vista to turn Vista into something useless.
It will be the major computer maufactores or the major corporations of the planet that will save the hundreds of millions of users that migrated to Vista when their computers will be flooded by virus, spies and all their work and data destroyed by Vista crashes? I want to see it!

Quote - Have you noticed how there's never been a mass-migration to Linux?  And do you understand why?

And this didn't happened?,  in what planet do you live? > Quote - It seems to me the only people who are concered, if you will, are those moaning and bitching about Windows validation.  Now if your Windows is valid, meaning legally purchased, what the hell is the problem?

The only people that moan and bitch about Windows validation are people that purchased it legally, in the patched version there's no validation, so nothing to moan or bitch!

Quote - The other concern is DRM.  That one I can understand.  Hell, even Bill Gates thinks DRM is a bad idea...

**From Tech Crunch: Bill Gates: *"I don’t hide the fact that I think DRM isn’t workable, and actively support DRM-free music alternatives such as eMusic and Amie Street. The rise of illegal or quasi-legal options like AllofMP3 and BitTorrent ensure that users have plenty of options when it comes to DRM-free digital music."***Gates didn’t get into what could replace DRM, but he did give some reasonably candid insights suggesting that he thinks DRM is as lame as the rest of us.

Gates said that no one is satisfied with the current state of DRM, which “causes too much pain for legitmate buyers” while trying to distinguish between legal and illegal uses. He says no one has done it right, yet. There are “huge problems” with DRM,

**Of course that  Bill Gates thinks DRM is a bad idea, DRM was not invented by Micrososft, what is bad if RIAA and Hollywood DRM, What is bad is what Sony-BMG put in their CDs. What is good is Microsoft DRM.
Have you realised what Vista pretend to do is to impose Microsoft's DRM to RIAA and Hollywood?
It was the same as with the internet when Microsoft wanted to impose Microsoft Network to be used instead what is used today for internet.
It was the same when Microsoft violated Sun's license and tried to impose Microsoft's Java, something that still is trying.
It was to same when Microsoft tried to impose site owners their propietary software of course not compatible with Linux. For your limited knowledge is Linux or FreeBEOS that is used by almost all servers!
You see, all these Microsoft temptavives have failled!!, do you think that Vista will be different?

Stupidity also evolves!
