As law professor Michael Geist explains in a recent editorial, “In the name of shielding consumers from computer viruses and protecting copyright owners from potential infringement, Vista seemingly wrestles control of the ‘user experience’ from the user.”
This is what I’ve been hearing again and again. Microsoft wants to control your use of their software. If an e-mail service refused e-mails from certain sources, would you use it? If they wouldn’t let you check your e-mail from certain places, would you use it? If you had to pay an additional fee for each computer you used for mail, would you use it?
Vista may be a great product, but it can’t survive under the weight of it’s DRM restrictions.
