With the new operating system, Microsoft is offering plenty of new graphics tricks, including translucent windows, animated flips between open programs and 'live icons' that show a graphical representation of the file in question. But before Vista will display its showiest side, known as Aero, it will run a check to make sure the software was properly purchased. "Those who are not running genuine Windows will not be able to take advantage of the Windows Aero user experience," a Microsoft representative told CNET News.com on Wednesday. Note: We had a slight problem with our submission system today, but it is now fixed. Submit away, boys and girls!

Why do you keep bringing that up though? Does it bother you that I defend Microsoft a lot (but not always)?
It does a little, to tell you the truth. I just don't understand why someone would so often go out of his way to defend a multi-billion corporation that represents a threat to diversity and innovation in such a key industry as IT.
You seem like an intelligent, articulate man. Why devote so much of your time to defend the beast that is MS?
(And yes, I have in fact noted that you have been a bit more critical of MS over the past few weeks...so my constant nagging seems to have had an effect! :-D)
I'll get off your case, I just wanted to point out that just because someone makes a bad joke about MS, you don't have to correct them on it...
