I ran across this and figured I'd share for those who might be interested in it.

Consdier yourself reminded.

I can understand it just fine, but it's Xmas and I don't feel like sitting for an hour to read through the whole document. Can you nutshell it for Me echtrae?

I've gathered that windows vista is offering some sort of "protection" to specific items on your computer but that this is a bad thing because of damaged system performance.

The best nutshell, would be the Executive Executive Summary

Executive Executive Summary

---------------------------

The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history.

Or were you meaning something a bit more serious. If you read through it, there is quite a bit of valuable information available about the numerous issues that Vista introduces to (or foists upon) the public.

[Guest Agaib]

Sure, I was hoping for an explaination of the overall actual issues. Why is it the longest suicide note in history?

If I get a chance, I'll provide a synopsis later this week, when I've had a chance to write one up. Till then, you'll have to content yourself with either reading the executive summaries or with actually reading the entire document.
