no i won't. if Vista comes with all those DRM managements in it, i'm kissing windows goodbye. some of that crap is downright absurd.

To get vista ready:

Step one spend a crap load of money on Vista.

Step two take a hammer to the inner workings of your pc

Step three repeat step two as needed until pc is vista ready.

Vista sounds like a good product but some of its glitches are really bad(unless fixed by now, which they may have been) but a few brought back the blue screen of death.

i won't go into details on my thoughts about this and the way it relates with the built in DRM Vista is coming with, but...

i would have no problem with this IF the backdoor could be only accessed if you physically had the computer in your hands and had a legal warrant to search it, just like if they wanted to search your house or other piece of property. allowing remote access should be a no-no.
