I see this sort of comment flying around on here, unchallenged. As much as I love MS bashing, does anybody have any links to articles that verify this?
Its not really the DRM, so much, as it is all the "features" (cough cough) that supports the DRM, especially how Vista encrypts alot of traffic crossing the system busses...and how Vista checks the "tilt bits" many many many times per second. All this needless "housekeeping" slows the system down.
You should see how long Vista takes to boot up and run on a Sempron 3100+ with 512mb of ram...
I would guess that at some later date (x years from now; x==5, x==10, x==100) once the WinFX API is established and becomes the primary API used by windows system-level programming, then the Win32 API underneath may be rewritten in.NET.
No, in 2020 I'll be "The 128-bit WinGZ API is wrapped around the 64-bit WinFX API which is wrapped around the 32-bit Win32 API which is wrapped around DOS which is wrapped around scraps of Gary Kildall's old sweatsocks."
For the last hour my WinXP box has been shutting itself down because of a crash in lsass. It's caused by a program called avserve2.exe. Infectee's will find it in the Windows\ directory, and added to the startup sequence.
(Note: I haven't had a chance to actually read this thread yet. If someone else has already warned everyone about avserve2.exe, please disregard this message.)

Note how this is phrased:
SCO has drawn the ire of the so-called "open source" programming community who object to SCO's claims they have copyright control over key pieces of the Linux operating system.
You can almost hear the venom dripping off the reporters fangs.

I've got two words for you, Darl: Cornered rat! I've two more word for you: Extinct Assh*les! Okay!? I think you hear me knockin, Darl.

Isn't the whole point of downloading MAME Roms is the idea that it's just illegal enough to be "naughty" but not illegal enough to get you thrown into jail?
Thanks for the link. Here's what I sent: We have just discovered that HP is supporting the SCO Roadshow, and we are very, very dissappointed in HP. We have since removed HP and Compaq from our list of Approved Vendors.
Also: We would like to remind you that your "ally" SCO is probably going to turn its blind rage in the direction of HP (and HP/UX) the instant SCO has finished suing IBM and SGI.
Ironically enough, I actually posted two SCO stories, and they published neither. So I guess they *could've* put up at least 4 a day...but they showed remarkable restraint. See: 2003-09-16 16:01:45 SCO Group screws over Loyal Ally in Holland (articles,caldera) (rejected)

from the Linuxworld story about SCO and Dupaco http://www.linuxworld.com/story/34018.htm Imagine his surprise, then, when he received an e-mail last month informing him that in 30 days, the distribution contract would be terminated. According to Monninkhof, SCO is offering their country managers in Europe exclusive franchise arrangements in the countries they handle. This means that the existing distributors are effectively cut out of the picture, not even being given a chance to vie for the franchise rights. Worse, under a marketing program started by SCO several years ago, Dupaco has been providing SCO with their leads and customer contacts, meaning that the new franchise will be primed to raid Dupaco's customer base. Dupaco had felt comfortable doing this because they had been assured by the European SCO management that SCO would never move to a direct marketing model in the Netherlands.
Puzzled to say the least, Monninkhof called his country manager, who basically told him he could remain as a zero-margin reseller, but the termination was a done deal. Since he was going to Lindon, Utah on other business, he called SCO to arrange a meeting. At first SCO agreed to talk, then changed their mind and told Monninkhof that there was no one at SCO to talk to and visitors were not being allowed in the building.
Undaunted, Monninkhof showed up at SCO's doorstep anyway, and within seconds, security had appeared and escorted him off the premises. He was also given a letter indicating that his company was no longer welcome at SCO Forum (which was about to be held in Las Vegas, and was the other reason that Monninkhof was in the country.)
In his own words humiliated, Monninkhof and his partner were halfway to Vegas to make their presence known, when they decided not to burn any bridges and returned to the Netherlands. However, they did decide to take legal action.

Rather than defend the "don't ask, don't tell" Linux intellectual property policy that caused the SCO v IBM case, the Open Source community should focus on customers' needs. The Open Source community should assure that Open Source software has a solid intellectual property foundation that can give confidence to end users. - Darl McBride.
Darl, Darl, Darl...haven't you ever heard the adage "When you are in a hole, stop digging"? You could climb out of the hole you dug yourself into. But you decided to spew more slander, libel and FUD instead. Back in July, we offered you a firemans ladder In August, we threw down a rope. Are we going to have to send down spelunkers, or should we wait until you pop up in China? (By the way, Darl, you don't want to end up in China. Thats a Linux country.)
Just in case that SCO ever tries to deny that they never planned on integrating Unix code into their distro of Linux... I have found an audio file that will prove they did. Go to the UnitedLinux press page, you'll find This mp3 file of the Teleconference. from 7:21-7:39 into the sound file, Ransome Love states his intentions...
Three main questions: 1) Whua!? 2) Sucks or Rocks? 3) Copyright ramifications? I'm sure the RIAA will blow a gasket if these MIT people get this thing to work.
It's not J. Michael Straczynski's fault. Michael O'Hare got discouraged and left. Which messed up the plotline immensely. Straczynski had to do all sorts of bizarre continuity changes to explain away his characters dissapearance. I suspect in the original storyline both the Shadow War and President Clark plot threads ended at the end of Season 5, followed immediately by Jeffrey Sinclair becoming Valen. (ie. no Bruce Boxleitner/John Sheridan at all.)
not that I have anything against Boxleitner, but its still painfully obvious that he was a panicked replacement.
OH! Wait! We did another audit and we discovered we own all the Eunochs Source Code as well. So anyone without male gonads owes us money. $699.99 per Eunoch in your household. Also, if anyone in your family lacks male gonads, you owe us a license fee or we will repossess your daughters. Lesseeee...(gets out notepad) the license fee breakdown should go...(starts scribbling)...We'll charge $699.99 for a daughter under the age of 14. $1200.99 for a daughter between the ages of 15 and 25. $1500.99 if she's between 15 and 25 and is hottt and naughty. $1350.99 for wives $650.99 for mothers and sisters $399.99 for grandmothers $300.99 for each Aunt or female Cousin also, ex-girlfriends are $32.50 each, as we (using our logic) consider them to be embedded devices.
Pay up now, because in 2004 four, not only are the prices going up, but we will add spayed and neutered housepets to the amount owed.
