"As Vista's deployment ramps up, news has begun to circulate that its highly regarded Protected Media Path has been defeated. The Protected Media Path is an array of Digital Rights Management technologies that allows 'premium content' to be 'enjoyed' by the consumer. The individual that has been labeled responsible for this feat is Alex Ionescu. Alex Ionescu is highly experienced and talented programmer whose primary work concentrates on the community-based ReactOS project. ReactOS is an open source operating system based on the Windows architecture. To get a better understanding of his work, Slyck.com interviewed Alex who dispelled many of the myths surrounding his work, while also providing insight into his accomplishments."

Remember every time you're pissed off that the RIAA has sued somebody's dead friend / mother / cat. Remember every time you're pissed off that Sony are screwing you over with DRM at every corner. Remember every time you're pissed off with Starforce and not being able to play your own games.
Remember that by running Vista, you are actively supporting the companies who utilise these anti-consumer measures, and by running Vista you are agreeing to let them continue doing so.
Say no to buying all new hardware just because DRM told you so. Say no to non-revolutionary technologies that only seek to make you repurchase all your existing media over again.
Say No to Vista.
