I apologize for the rant.

I have made my decision

Vista I will not be buying.

No one is not going to tell me. I can't have access to a part of
the computer or the hard drive. Imagine if a virus, spyware or
adaware got into that protected area and a virus program could not
clean it.

I'm Sticking with xp & windows 98se forever.

If I have to get a new computer it will be either mac or linux
system.

So, what you're saying, is that you want the option to be able to
steal media if you choose and it's not the right of the OS vendor to
limit you in any way?

That's not what he's saying. What he's saying is that he trusts
himself
more than he trusts his OS vendor. It's a question of who should have
the keys to his computer, him or Microsoft. He chooses himself. I
would too.

Pitiful arguments for and against. If you are against copying - then
just don't do it! If you are for copying - then think outside the box
and buy a scan converter and split your audio out - sending that to a
standalone VCR/DVD recorder unit for about $129.00 (US) and shut up.

The folks who own the copyrights think folks are not smart enough to
realize that you can record things withou a computer - and most of these
replies talking about invasion of privacy - lack or respect - etc. just
need to learn that nothing can be protected from copying if you think
outside the box.

cya!
