WPF is just another brick in the wasteland of .NET . It actually doesn't have anything to do with Vista other than it's going to ship with Vista.

Why is Microsoft and Apple pimping stuff thats application layer level and playing off like it's brand new OS innovation? They do this because there really isn't much left to innovate at the OS layer and they need to sell customers on upgrades. This is why unix is still around, it does everything you need an OS to do and it does it well.

All of the innovation is at the app layer these days. The operating system is increasingly becoming irrelevant.

The customer are saying, "Hey, this DRM sucks. We just want the product, and we want to make our own backups which we are allowed to by law. We don't like having our media and apps locked down to one unreliable machine and then have to beg yall for a new copy every time our harddrive crashes or we upgrade our cpu. We don't like knowing that if you go out of business we basically loose everything we bought from you".

Business used to be about treating your customers right and giving them what they want so they will come back and buy more product/services. Openoffice.org is doing really good these days because people are fed up with all the anti copying crap thats in MSOffice. When I waste time on the clock due to anti copy protection and drm issues i get mad and consider other products.

You post about your digital morals and DRM done right in regards to the company you are involved with, but your company sells "licenses" to view material drm style from affiliates who push content that does not belong to them. I highly doubt that the INXS music videos being offered through your site by "Richerme Rockin Store" are licensed by the content holders for INXS content.

Effectively you are are adding drm to content provided by pirates and making a dollar off it.

So much for digital rights.
