Vista Makes Me Sad @ TheInquirer

This might be one of the most honest editorials I have ever read though I see some irony in there.

The author is from the UK (or somewhere close) and if memory serves the UK (or someplace in Europe) sued M$ and ended up winning money because they had issues with something M$ did in the software. Well as we ALL know when companies lose money either due from piracy, theft, or lawsuits their response is to raise prices to cover their costs. Now M$ might be a huge company that makes a ton of money but it also costs a lot of money to run. I find it funny that someone from Europe is complaining about cost when it was Europe that had a hand in the inevitable price increase.
"Vista could have been innovative instead of warmed over. Vista could have defended our rights instead of raping them. Vista could have been lean and mean instead of bloated and DRM slowed. Vista could have brought new ways of doing things instead of the same old same old. Vista could have been cheaper instead of a stealth price increase. Vista could have pioneered new ways of letting us use computers instead of activated tethers and licence problems. Vista could have been compatible and advanced standards instead of breaking software in the name of locking you in."
Yep funny stuff, though I'm not very happy with the new activation options either, kind of sucks when you are always upgrading your system.
