: Who cares? Vista is unusable in any reasonable understanding, because you : always need to fear that the kernel-integrated DRM isn't used against you - : and this is trivial, even for non-DRMed data.

Are you implying that no-one will care about Vista? That we don't have to deal with it because the users won't use it? Please enlight me; which OS will the users convert to. Users today seem not to care much about such issues, and using passport, MSN, etc at large.. But I guess you have the ultimate solution that will enlighten people and get them on a better track? Sounds like a dream, but I'm not so sure that will be the reality?

No. Just that no-one who understands Vista would use is voluntarily.

No, just that security reviews on Vista are useless, as long as an intentional vulnerability is openly maintained.

Then I guess we will still have to deal with questions from these users. And I guess we will still have to care about these users.

Are people using anything voluntarily as they buy computer systems with a preinstalled OS? Any it might be that their business critical application also exists only for the win32 platform.

I understand that this does not apply to you, but it does indeed apply to a significant enough number of users that we can't ignore it.
