UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment

schwaang writes "The UK Green Party says that Vista's DRM requirements will force many unnecessary hardware upgrades. Quoting: 'There will be thousands of tonnes of dumped monitors, video cards, and whole computers that are perfectly capable of running Vista — except for the fact they lack the paranoid lock down mechanisms Vista forces you to use. That's an offensive cost to the environment. Future archaeologists will be able to identify a "Vista Upgrade Layer" when they go through our landfill sites.'"

    Sure, what's next, Vista is the principal factor of the Global Warning. You know, /. is sometimes funny. So many smart people and at the same time so many idiots reunited in the same place... People are SOOOO DESPERATE trying to make their point abd to demonstrate their holy theories: Apple=God, Linuxxx-Holy spirit, MS= Devil that they are willing to repeat lies and stupid theories just to get that internal confirmation that they so much need like a drug... It's just not so funny anymore... /, is just like yellow press but only even more stupid... and PREDICTABLE.... A cancer.
