Why Vista's DRM Is Bad For You - Forbes.com

Another alternate reality piece from Forbes.  Perhaps Forbes should abandon all forms of copyright on its own content in order to further protest DRM. 

In the meantime, the only advice I can offer you is to not upgrade to Vista. It will be hard. Microsoft's bundling deals with computer manufacturers mean that it will be increasingly hard not to get the new operating system with new computers. And Microsoft has some pretty deep pockets and can wait us all out if it wants to. Yes, some people will shift to Macintosh and some fewer number to Linux, but most of us are stuck on Windows. Still, if enough customers say no to Vista, the company might actually listen.
