Yes, which is exactly why 2k remains a much nicer operating system than XP :):)
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

If you want a total security, forget about using a PC all together.

If your computer can take vista smoothly, do it. :)

That's an option like so many other options which can be turned off.

On that same manner, XP has similar options which slows it down.

So, no reason for not getting Vista....

Ive never been affected by DRM, And I doubt I will be. Vista isn't a resource hog, btw.

RE: Should i get vista?
you can turn off DRM?
doesn't it defeats the target?

and some options should automatically turn off when they are not needed...
like that "glass" thingy, you don't need it in full screen applications!
and if you try to undo an option in Windows, it takes YEARS :S

That depends what you mean by turning it off :)

I've never been affected by DRM. I honestly don't see what the fuss is about atm. If you have discs, you take copies, they could be bounded by DRM. There should be ways to get around it.
Either way its your music so I don't see why you mind :P
On the other hand, if you *cough* download *cough* music I don't see what the problem is. It will work the same way it does on any other OS :S

Am I missing something here?
