Vista is a taste of MicroSoft's future plans and things certainly won't get better come the next incarnation of Windows, I can assure you. Inch-by-inch, they're going to dupe the sheep into accepting their trusted "Trusted Computing" philosophy, which basically means everything you do on YOUR computer within YOUR OWN home will be monitored and pretty much every action you make recorded and transmitted back to "HQ"...in one form or another. But ofcourse, all this intrusion into activity on your system is for your own security, to protect you from viruses and evil paedophiles.
Why is Vista slow compared to XP? Because of all the behind the scenes snooping going on. Try inserting a BlueRay disk and running certain video recording apps at the same time. You'll be told that you're "not allowed".
Things are going to get worse as far as "Intrusive Computing" is concerned and when they finally dupe the public into beleiving we need Internet2, this intrusion of our day to day computing life will only be compounded. Welcome to the wonderful world of Big Brother!
Very well said and 100% true. Thank you for articulating one of the main reasons I use Amiga computers to this day.
