But, I was fascinated to say the least. I have had a great number of issues since Microsoft began to push for stronger digital rights management tools (hardware, software and legal) that were, in my view, an invasion of my privacy (#1) and a potential hole for hackers to gain access to my OS. After I saw the writing on the wall, I made the move to OS's like FreeBSD, OS X and Linux. I still manage and run a number of Windows machines, but this is becoming a more reluctant part of my administrative duties... Nevertheless, discussion should ensue and perhaps in the end, Microsoft will make the right decision.
