Just weeks after releasing Windows Vista Beta 1, Microsoft has shifted our paradigms again, unveiling a preview of beta 2 at the TechEd 2005 developer conference. Also, "hardware vendors are going to love the news that Windows Vista is going to need very beefy hardware to run well. At Microsoft's TechEd conference, Dan Warne finally managed to squeeze blood from a stone - or rather, answers about Longhorn's hardware requirements from Microsoft."

Yeah, that's exactly like someone said about Apple's future - that they see the future as gadget-centered, not PC-centered, which will only act like a hub. Microsoft is really behaving childish and thoughtless here. Not to mention the monitors thing - they're just on crack I guess. Besides, if there's pure unecrypted video stream somewhere, anywhere, it CAN be decrypted.

This one could really turn round and bite MS in the butt. Recent events, not least sharply rising energy costs, suggest that we may be in for a bout of small is beautiful again - and that includes modest power requirements and running costs. Yet here we are with a corporation betting the farm on some 1990s fantasy that not merely bigger but hugely, vastly bigger is better. Can't see it personally. If they want to sell this pig in a poke - as distinct from trying to blackmail users into an upgrade through the drm elements - they'll have to try a lot harder than they're managing to so far.
