So my g/f's computer just died and we're looking to get her another one. She's resisting Vista, but a) there aren't many computers out there that still ship with XP and b) she hates Macs. So her options are limited.
But what I really wanted to ask about is Vista and the DRM software/hardware. I really don't know too much about how it works. Does anyone have any useful articles that can explain the OS and its relation to DRM in layman's terms? Or maybe someone here could explain it?
I don't want to say what I think I know for fear of looking like an idiot, but my basic understanding is that there's a kind of digital rights vs. privacy issue going on, and Vista is at the core in some way. Or maybe I've managed to make myself look like an idiot anyway, and that's totally incorrect.
Many thanks in advance.
