I'm Spanish native and now in my thirties moved to an English country. I can't complete crosswords in any of these. Knowing words by their definition is hard.
I think the thing about DRM in Vista and 7 is that you may have some "protected executables" like windows media player that when they run you can't attach a debug process to them (Haven't tried but that's what I read) even if you are an admin on the machine because if you could attach something to media player you could bypass the hdcp and copy what's on the buffer. So it's about being an administrator and not having full control of your machine.
To those of us stuck doing active development on old, ugly code, every day can feel like we are slogging deeper and deeper into a swamp. Each time we hack in a new change, it makes us feel unclean. We are ashamed of the ugliness of the patch work we are adding to. We know programming used to be fun, but only rarely do we feel the echoes of that now. Mostly we feel dejected. And we've lost our motivation because we are not putting out code we are proud of.
Gee! I'm feeling this way in my new job that I have now. I don't like it! I feel I'm wasting my time while I could be doing more interesting things. Right after I graduate I'll try as hard as I can to get a job where I don't have to do what you have described (And I'd like to say, no matter how well-paid it is).
I'm still young I think (just turned 28) and I want (hope) to work in stuff I feel good about.
I'm still patiently waiting for an Audio "processor" that uses these capabilities. Let's say, a GPGPU OpenAL Driver that outputs to your motherboard DAC, or that uses SPDIF with an GPGPU-enabled Dolby Digital Encoder.
I'd like to recommend you Switcher for an Expose Clone that uses Vista's DWM and works beautifully, at least for me.
There are also pretty good dock bars out there. They even use the preview feature of DWM that lets you see your active windows in the dock with their contents updated in real time!
In the Games Explorer, for many games you can see their minimum required Experience Index, and their recommended Experience Index. At least that's a first step.
A couple of months ago I did what nobody recommends, in my 2gb system I made a 512mb ramdisk and put my swapfile in there. The logic is, I know I'll never use that much memory, and Windows moves processes to swap no matter how much memory you are using. My system has never been so responsive than is it now.

The apocalypse guys are testing. This year the shut down Skype, next year same day they'll shut down the world.

Well, with 8 hours i can go swimming at the club after work
I'll take www.microsof.tcom and www.microsoftc.om and see how many visitors it's going to have.
Offtopic, but weren't those issues solved in Vista SP1?

Why so serious?

I wonder if EAX emulation could be done with unified shaders (like physics)?
