Summary by unvista — last modified 2008-05-29 14:38

So, if you bought a system too slow to handle the excessive encryption with Vista pre-installed, here's what you need to do:

* ignore the fact your system can't do the things promised in a satisfactory way - maybe use it to type email or something...

* wait 3.3 years

* buy new "compatible" hardware to handle the excessive strain caused by vista

* pray that the drivers all work - they probably won't

* buy a new copy of Vista for your new hardware - remember how they don't let you transfer you "lease" of Vista to the new computers? (unless you bought it retail)

* do something (sell?) your old computer

* clear out all your files - don't want to give away personal information - best to reformat your harddrive - you got working backup disks with your computer, didn't you? If not, you're screwed.

* re-read the legal licensing agreements to see if Microsoft has changed them to disallow the selling of your license of Vista with your computer - better have a sharp legal mind ready just in case

* advertise your computer for sale

* ship or deliver your computer to your customer

* follow up with post-sale issues


Oh, if you still have problems getting the promised functionality to work, Microsoft already has your money and doesn't care. Good luck!

I agree DRM sucks, but Media Center under Vista or Windows XP is a very simple to use and implement product. Which I don't have to worry about complex patches, guide updates, crazy menu options, problems with cards not support properly, etc.. etc..

Myth TV and the free software movement at least in my eyes needs to solve that.

The problem is dealing with a new operating system, having to learn it from the ground up that is opposite of Windows and then having to figure out how to get Myth working properly with my hardware.

And god forbid if the guide stops working.

Personally my view is two fold a lot of people will accept the DRM because its Windows, its easy and comfortable for people to use. 2nd its something you can just install, it works and it doesn't have as high of a risk to break. I have media center pcs which have run for 2-3 years now without a single issue.

I've tried running Myth twice and both times (even with a preloaded image of Myth) it still didn't work properly.

Yeah, until DRM shows up to a annoying level I don't think people will look at Myth or any of the free software seriously.

Similar to how people can't seem to crack the Apple IPOD because the DRM isn't annoying enough to those people who use the product.

When annoyingness kicks in is when the general population and average joes will take your argument more seriously and look to any other products to serve their needs and goals.

Forget Vista. If you want a true all-inclusive solution, use gnu/linux and MythTV (www.mythtv.org)
