     I've always been on the unpopular side of the DRM argument.  I'll tell you why.  I'm a writer.

     I've spent most of my life living on the edge of poverty and I've made many sacrifices in order to succeed--in a small way.  Now that I've finally made a little progress, I don't want to see the results of all my years of work (books, film scripts) to be handed around the planet to people who are unwilling to pay me (and my collaborators) for my labor and years of sacrifice.  I want well-designed, properly enforced copyright protection, so that my property is protected.  

   I also want those who help others to steal it to go to jail and rot there.  

    Whether or not you're willing to pay the market price in order to enjoy my work is entirely up to you, but it is my right to have my work protected from freeloaders.  If my work became digitized and available at no cost, I would be out of business.  

     Protest however much you wish, that's what DRM is all about.  And for those of you who oppose copyright control, if you really want free entertainment, you've missed the boat. You should have moved to Russia while the Communists were in power. That's their system.  And how well it worked, eh?

   Cheers, Don.

   Hi.  I'm not opossed to change, but I think Nick jumped the gun.  You should have given other hardware companies time to upgrade VISTA drivers.  I bought a new HP VISTA HOME PREMIUM.  Good computer, but I can't download printer and other hardware.  One of the HP reps. finally admitted to me that VISTA is not compatable with any hardware drivers..,yet.  I've called AT&T, HP, VISTA, MSN, WEBROOT and others for help for 3 weeks.  Finally, like I said HP admitted the truth.  Please send out an e-mail to VISTA folks so they know.  Oh yea, even some of your own software, won't download.  Thanks, Tom.  P.S.  HP did'nt even a accept my URL that's on there own computer.

   There are no glideslope indicators on the runway... Just the red "end of the line" threshold lights... (minor design oversight?)...

   It looks like it could hold some potential - but alas, IE7 on XP was up to its "no click on URL behavior/feature" again (where I have to right click and "open" the URL)...

   That aside, Astroturf never grows. It's gonna take a lot more than ze Scoble to plant some real grass.  

   I find it odd that Vista was in alpha, beta, RC - for friggen ever, and that almost no third party vendors have "solid" software or drivers for it - mostly beta, at best... so buying a new PC right now is for the average joe is buying... a rather expensive pretty paperweight.

   Netcraft is showing a minor dent in the OS server platform on the web and Windows making some headway, but with no enthusiasm to spend a few $k for the warez to be creative (make a blog?) - where's this headed?

   I hope when Vista system arrives my Unopened Visual Studio 2005 will load easily What worries me the most is to add(it's supposed to be included) Net 2 framework and test same by running sample codes. but first I need to choose an AV Software- I'm leaning towards the Russian AV software
