Busting the FUD about Vista’s DRM
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=284
When isn't it FUD and factual?
Vista is SLOWER and took one step forward while taking two steps
backwards because of useless, unwanted and unasked for "features"
like DMA and poorly implemented crap like UAC.
FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
Microsoft hasn't helped their customers "upgrading" to Vista, rather
they've HURT them with drops in productivity due to excessive eye
candy often requiring newer more expensive hardware, slower file
transfers due to phony "security improvements", moved and reconfigured
"features" that users need to locate and relearn how to use all over
again plus the inevitable wait for hardware manufacturers to release
upgraded drivers.
The reality is Vista is a sow in a pretty dress. Underneath it is
still a pig. You put a silk dress and lipstick on a pig... surprise,
underneath it's still a pig.
Microsoft has done what it always does, hype the crap out of eye candy
and questionable "enhancements" while leaving a foundationally flawed,
bloated OS underneath that still demands a future SP1 and probably a
SP2 along with the usual parade of interim security patches, updates
and fixes.
P. T. Barnum would be proud. Customers should be ashamed for getting
conned again. Five years in development and Vista is the best
Microsoft could come up with?
The boys of Redmond aren't known for writing the best software, their
trump card is knowing how to MARKET mediocre software to the masses
and having a clueless army of fanboys sing it's praises.
