Re: Windows Vista - worst OS yet?

But its too easy to strip DRM off of present day DVDs. At this point,
the copy software will treat the stripped content just like your home
movies. Copying s/w that errs on the side of treating all content as
suspect (until the DRM authenticates it) will be far too failure prone
for engineering, medical and other professional applications.


Whoever said such applications would be included?

Have you ever heard the phrase "mission critical"?

Engineering apps need not be included in that list as there is no
time critical/life critical mission about laying out a PCB. If the
DRM fails mid file edit, it is no different than the old causes for
data loss. One picks up at the last saved edit.

DRM would in no way affect whether something got engineered
correctly. Sheesh. Get over it, dude.
