Microsoft will officially launch Windows Vista and Microsoft Office
2007 System for consumers at a special event in Times Square in New
York on January 29 called "Wow Starts Now." At the event, Microsoft
and its partners will promote Vista, Office 2007, and related
products.

"On January 29, Microsoft will celebrate the launch of two amazing
products that represent the culmination of a tremendous team effort,"
an email message from Microsoft reads. "Millions of people--Microsoft
employees, developers, valued customers, bloggers, families, media,
the entire industry--have come together like never before and added
their own individual imprints to help make Vista and Office 2007 the
most tested products in Microsoft history."

The January 29 event apparently includes a lunch reception, then a
launch celebration. "Our celebration is dedicated to the millions of
people who helped transform the operating system into a rich
experience that's more exciting and more powerful than ever before,"
the email reads.

    you take the good with the bad....

    sure you can lock your front door so that burglars can't come in, but you have to unlock it for your neighbours.

    so what happens if you can't trust either? best to err on the side of caution right?

    "we can all criticize and whatnot, but the industry wants media protected from casual copying and they'll get what they want in the end. do you have any better solutions? funny, but i haven't seen any new content protection schemes patented recently that are a threat to DRM systems."

    Well, we don't have a perfect way to prevent murders, but we don't lock up people just because they have the capability to harm others.

    By turning off my optical-out b/c it _possibly_ could be used as piracy, is essentially the same thing.
