Windows Vista on Vaio suddenly decided it was invalid

[Charlie Tame]

Its companies like Sony that insist on DRM to "protect" their content.
As DRM seldom stops the mass pirate-rs what Sony means is control where
the purchaser can use the content so they can charge more for it on
different media, etc. Exactly the same reason as region codes were
created for DVDs. You have no hope of a company like Sony wanting to get
rid of DRM.

Quite so, it was a tongue in cheek kinda comment. Whatever the "Legal"
situation is WTR responsibility, the OS has "Microsoft" written all over
it and so any perceived problems WILL be attributed to the most
prominent name in the whole package. This is aggravated by the fact that
it's MS who make the allegation of theft but then flatly refuse to deal
with the mistake. Never mind the technicalities, to the user wish is
simply a Vista / Microsoft problem, and that is what they will believe
and remember, no matter what else they are told.

sue them for all their worth...lol

Yeah, I really hope someone from MS is reading this and can do something
about it,

but I doubt it.

My impression is of a faceless giant totally out of control with its own
power.
