Oh, and M$, Hollywood and their buddies have plenty of clout in the media hardware industry - already most manufacturers are bending over backwards to support their restrictions. :sad: Also detailed in that (very long but VERY well-written and interesting) article is the fact that even if you don't use M$'s products, their behaviour will mean you pay more for hardware and pay in other ways too, to support what they're doing, whether you like it or not. |

Ps: there are DrM / HdCp cracks that bypass it with unsigned drivers. . . if you really wana play HdCp junk. . . seeing as no 1 can even play drm /hdcp garbage without upgrading to compliant junk . . . quite a stupid feature indeed. There are also ways to manipulate and play content you ("own") and have the license to . .. its just a bit troublesome and clumsy the way Microsoft does it. And it's because of people like you we have DRM and HDCP protected media. How about going out and buying things because that is what we should do. If we don't buy media then how are the people making it going to get paid? Sure I don't pay for everything I have on my PC but that's mostly just music and it's free anyways over the radio. For movies and videos, that's a different story. Buy the damn things as they are not free. Same goes for games. I do pirate lots of videos and games but guess what? If I like it I go out and buy it. Simple as that. So stop your bitching about content protection as well it's needed to get pricks like you to go and actually buy the things you should...

The only problems I've had with it is that Media Player 11 crashes randomly for no reason which is better then on my last XP install which had it freeze up the whole system. (that was very annoying) Also I forgot to activate vista right away before I applied the SP1 patch. Now this stupid "Evaluation copy. Build 6001" water mark wont go away.  NoPeace - out |

first time i done it i thought vista is bugged to hell... to see thumbnails in windows classic mode you have to tick the thumbnails box in appearance settings... i think this shows lack of refinement, deviating from the standard thumbnail feature being a gfx perk rather than a native os feature.

You can apply the same SP over older versions. I did that from Beta 1 to Beta 2 to RC1. And why are you even talking about RC2 or RTM? It's a simple bug that happens if you do not activate Vista before you apply the patch. Vista automatically has that eval water mark there and typically goes away once you activate the OS. Though for some reason once SP1 is installed it doesn't remove the water mark. Simple as that.

You can all say "Omg" pay for this pay for that but truth is at the end of the day your all proly running Pirated software on your computers right now . . . this forum has entire sections devoted to pirated server software and illegal software emulation . .. as well as threads on reverse engineering and modifying illegally obtained commercial intellectual properties. So Until I see all the Illegal software Sections Deleted on this forum I really think that the Admins are complete Hypocrites . . . . One Evil can not be Undone by the "fake good Samaritan typings" you all seem to enjoy spewing ;) I am a realist . . . I say what I see and not the altered observations and beliefs others seem to take part in. When Microsoft Rules the Planet and rapes you in the ass with fee's every time you turn on your radio . . . you will all be sorry. Pirates keep the World Free. . . if pirates didn't exist Microsoft and the like would have a bitch fest of a time ripping every 1 off rather than wasting time and effort fighting piracy. . . PS: for the Annoying watermark there is a Patch (non- Official) to remove it. . . . ;) (but for fear of another 10 infractions . . . I will no post a link) ;P so i suppose removing the watermark is now illegal to you all now also? Double PS: I await the infractions and inevitable Ban. . . 3rd PS: Sp1 Is fine and Vista is fine anyone who complains about it just doesn't know how to rip out all the garbage. . .(like DRM) And the truth of the matter is that you should buy things. Simple as that. If people did that prices would then go down. It's because of pricks like you, the people who do have moral ethics have to suffer. I do admit that I do have pirated software on my computer. And simply the reason for that is for trial purposes. If I like something and wish to make full use out of it then I buy it. If I don't then I don't see the point of waiting the money on it. Once you get into the "real world" you'll soon learn that you can't get away pirating anything. And your statement of pirates keeps the world free is just stupid. It's the total opposite. They are the reason why things cost more money then what they should because people need to make money in order to make the things you use. Pirate cuts down sales which causes companies to raise prices to still meet their needs. If they can't meet their needs then what happens? They go out of business and you loose what ever it is you are stealing. That is why music costs so much. That is why software costs so much. That is why games costs so much. It's all because of pirates screwing over the makers and they need to raise prices in order to recover their losses.

ONE PROBLEM how do you download DX 10 for it?? If you got DX10 hardware that can run DX10 games then you should be using Vista. Simple as that. NoPeace - out |

If you circumvent it then it means you are participating in media piracy which is against the law. Vista treats ALL HD content as 'protected', whether you created and own it or not, since it has no facility to validate such ownership. Microsoft has built in the assumption that all its users are criminals, and any attempt to freely manipulate/copy HD content (even user-created content) requires bypassing/disabling DRM, and this is breaking the law. It's worse than you think. Read the article. :wink_2: Xenosaga, agreed 100%. :sad: |

Same even goes for vista. . . . all these operating systems have planned obsolescence built into them . . . how else would Microsoft keep selling you garbage . . . . The fact is that if you want to run games in Dx10 you WILL NEED vista . . . . All the new Hardware is built around vista computability. . . so soon using anything but Vista may actually LOWER your performance on non-windows or non - vista os . . . simply because of the fact that all the new hardware is designed to run on vista . . . And in 2010 When Windows 7 "BlackComb" comes out you will again be obsolete and have to change your hardware, upgrade software / hand over a little bit more of you privacy to M$ along with your Wallet. Just like Microsoft Planned, all along. :juggle: I really wish that the majority of the content was coded for alternate operating systems . . . but that is not the case . . . so we are all stuck... As for Service Pack 1 Im waiting for it to become more convenient to Slip Stream onto an ISO image. . . . or for a reliable torrent on a previously slip streamed Sp1 Vista ISO.

DRM is stored in the meta data of the file when it's created. There is where you specify what ownerships are allowed. You do know this is also in XP? Just XP doesn't enforce it.
