One rule of thumb, with MS, NEVER upgrade when they first release a new OS until a year later when it's been fixed and patched too death. I'm pricing Mac's and plan to get one by next year, until then, long live XP.

Told ya they stuck sneaky copyright protection schemes into Vista. ;)

I make multimedia files, my own, I don't need my computer's or MS permission to play my own videos & music that I make with Poser.

That will be the day. HA!

Looks like MS is in bed with the RIAA/MPAA afterall.

Now I get the jest of those Mac vs PC's commercials where the PC has to keep asking permission to use everything & the Mac doesn't.
