Title: MIcrosoft making Pirating more difficult on Window Vista

For the first time, the Windows operating system will wall off some audio and video processes almost completely from users and outside programmers, in hopes of making them harder for hackers to reach. The company is establishing digital security checks that could even shut off a computer\'s connections to some monitors or televisions if antipiracy procedures that stop high-quality video copying aren\'t in place.

So, whatcha think?

hackers will find a workaround in under 2 months.  You can "hope" to make something harder for hackers all you want, dosen\'t mean it\'s gonna work.

when it\'s in your tummy you break it down and it turns to sh!t, just like it was before it went into the oven.

So yes, overtime it\'s possible to hack into a cake

And that\'s the only Vista spicy item...

OpenGL is gonna bite the dust on Vista becuz it will be a downgraded 1.4 OGL on top of DirectX, which will make it run slower.

Of course we all know Sony\'s PS3 development platform is mainly gonna be Linux / OpenGL.......
