wow did they load the question when they asked Tre if they could do this like i.e.(is your mother not related to your father?). Employee: "Do you not want to screw consumers?" Billy: "yes?, I mean no....forget it" Employee: "neener neener neener...you said yes!" Billy: "your fired"
"Microsoft did something in the best interests of the consumer. Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse?"
Don't worry, the conspirists will come up with a way to spin-doctor this article to sound like MS has found a new way to screw people. It's already happening on Slashdot.
It does make me curious: which distros of Linux provide similar PVR support. Mmmm?

What happens when it blue screens and you have to re-install (MS-Product , it's gauranteed)
Well, damn...all my copies of Windows (98, NT, 2000, and XP) must be defective, because they never bluescreen.
Oh, wait...that's probably because I actually know how to operate a computer, and I don't let it bluescreen. Nevermind.
