Windows CEMENT
Saw the video only today unfortunately.
It made me realize all the useless things, or so called ‘innovations’ that Windows Vista brought us. I think that we were doing just fine, and they were doing a fine job with Windows XP. The first moment Vista appeared bad things happened.
- DRM (Digital Rights Management) or Digital Restriction Managemenet how we use to call it, and by we I refer to the people behind DefectiveByDesign. Activism of which I am a part myself.
- Null backwards compatibility. This includes notebooks without drivers for lower versions of Windows.
- New standards for operating system sizes started popping up. The home version of a Vista to reach 17Gb? It’s outrageous.
And the list could go on, and on, and on. The point is that Vista may bee the future, and as I have seen Windows 7 is not far of Vista. But it was a radical change, and not in the same well accepted way that XP was.
I only wanted to share the video, and look where that took me.
