have you read this: “a cost analysis of windows vista content protection<\/a>,” by peter gutmann<\/a>, university of auckland, n.z.?<\/p>\n

i am not a microsoft hater, but a pragmatist and if the ultimate solution is to go ahead and adopt vista, that’s fine as long as people are discussing and aware of the downside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
