It seems that Microsoft's new Vista operating system is under fire even as it is birthed... In one of today's news articles about the new operating system BBC News reports that Microsoft is vigorously defending Vista against the criticism that it deliberately 'downgrades' the quality of audio and video. Well who'd 'a thought it....? (Pictured Above: Bill Gates indicates the life expectancy of Vista)
Dr Peter Gutman, a lecturer at the University of Auckland, down under in New Zealand is one of the leaders of the attack. He is quoted as saying that Vista's content protection spec is "the longest suicide note in history", and claims that "The sheer obnoxiousness of Vista's content protection may end up being the biggest incentive to piracy yet created." Hmmm .... we will soon see (or maybe not).
