Big brother is watching you

Does Microsoft's draconian DRM put you off Vista? Read about the new patent agreement submitted by Microsoft for the next version of Windows.

Essentially, every different part of the operating system will be a separate module that will be purchased separately (with it's own DRM, licensing, terms of use etc.) You'll even have to pay separately just to be able to install third-party applications or to use the new RAM you bought.

If this is true (and I get the impression that it is)only a fool will opt for this when there are open source alternatives freely available.

Linux, here i come...
