Microsoft playing Big Brother


It seems windows XP will prevent people from making copies of their own music, and attempting to distribute it.

I think they have gone overboard. Post your comments...

I'll just stick to Win2K for now.

I normally don't bash Microsoft it's good company but they really do suck ass. I can understand how they want to save the rights of the musicians rights or proprietary software etc...but this is a USER decision not the companies. I would have bought the software but only if they can removal M$MORALSv3.5.


BTW- Thank you Linus! Wanna get hitched?

Isn't this what all the anti-MS big-gov'mint-lovers wanted? MS was including too many things in the OS. They were destroying competition by bundling software. So they don't give you an MP3 recorder built into the OS. Then buy one. They can't stop you from using MusicMatch or EAC and LAME or whatever you prefer.

Just use EAC and Lame...

 

[StageLeft]

Yeah I like that phrase

Eitherway just don't bother with XP. Whats the point of it anyway? Bah
