    "license prohibits making screenshots containing desktop or icons or other artwork incorporated into Vista"

    No, I don't think so...

    From Vista Home Basic license:

    c. Icons, images and sounds. While the software is running, you may use but not share its icons, images, sounds, and media.

    a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on the licensed device. You may use the software on up to two processors on that device at one time. Except as provided in the Storage and Network Use (Ultimate edition) sections below, you may not use the software on any other device.

    Following section is to be found only in Vista Ultimate license:

    1. STORAGE. You may store one copy of the software on a storage device, such as a network server. You may use that copy to install the software on any other device to which a license has been assigned.

    For true hackers, it really doesn't matter what's desktop color.

  4. There are more restrictions on Virtualization Disallowed For Vista Home · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not only virtualisation is restricted:

    • you can move license to another computer only once (even in BOX version). So you'll hava to buy new Vista after second mainboard upgrade
    • there is a limit of 10 computers that can see each other and communicate using Microsoft Windows Neighborhood, even in Vista Pro or Ultimate version.
    • license prohibits making screenshots containing desktop or icons or other artwork incorporated into Vista
    • only Vista Ultimate can be copied on to hard disk

    It's a feature, not a bug.

    Her invention was called COBOL.

    No wonder no one programs in language made by woman!

    Electric guitar with headphones? (there's no sound in space)

    Creating Smart Organization Structures - hey, I have did exactly the same thing for years using procmail & IMAP server & mutt. Mails from my boss go to one folder, mails from my grilf go to the other one. Messages from some folder are automatically purged/archived after few days. It's really nothing new, and it can be accomplished even with Outlook Express.

    Task-Driven E-Mail Organization - It's useless in my opinion, as it will be used mostly by spammers (you have only 3 days left to buy ....... from us). If my boss wants me to do something within a week, I note that in my calendar. And groupware cooperation tools give a much better control over a To-Do list when working at projects. I cannot imagine IETF releasing new e-mail RFC which includes a X-Deadline header.

    Thread Arcs - I doubt it will be more readable than tree view. And I prefer using keyboard&text terminal than mouse.

  9. backdors? on FBI Planning New Net-Tapping Push · · Score: 1

    Require any manufacturer of "routing" and "addressing" hardware to offer upgrades or other "modifications" that are needed to support Internet wiretapping.

    The question is whether those 'modifications' will allow remote wiretapping, possibly without ISP knowing anything about the tap.

    IANAL, but I think that they can't sniff traffic coming from outside of U.S.?
