Subject: [THIN] OT: an interesting read on Vista

 

Hi People,

 

If you're thinking about Vista at all, have a read of Peter Gutman's
(Auckland University, New Zealand) article:
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.txt 

 

I've always thought that people that pronounce six like sex were a bit
eccentic (I'm kidding, some of my best friends are kiwis) but Peter's
article, including his punchline of  "The Vista Content Protection
specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in
history" is pretty fascinating and scarey. 

 

regards,

 

Rick
