Right out the Window

I now have an impressive collection of notes and reminders for LJ entries I keep meaning to write. Will any of them appear? Who knows. I doubt a New Years resolution would be motivating.

I will, however, take a moment to post this. From the linked article: The [Windows] Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest

I have been, for several months now, tinkering with the idea of going Mac based largely on a lot of the positive feedback of our (the company I work for) customers. I even went to the Mac page to see about "building" one (I use the term "building" loosely as you don't have too many options to pick from. Processor, hard drive size and total RAM and that's about it.) Though I receive a discount from Apple through work, I had to laugh at is because off of a brand new $1400 machine it only knocked off $70 (but then again every bit helps.) I'm in no huge rush to get a new comp but like you an upgrade is looming in the future and so I am keeping eyes open. Still interesting read. Interesting and scary, with just a touch of laugh-at-the-stupid-people funny.

All of it is just frustrating. Macs certainly are not without their problems, but Microsoft seems intent on needlessly complicating life for the end user to make an extra buck. Also, Apple does a much better job of designing usable software.
