Sony music CD installs spyware

[laighleas]

Mind you, apparently MS new operating system, Vista, is set to tell you what Cd you can and can't play on your computer. It's apparently going to additionally restrict what hardware you can use as well - unless it's from a trusted vendor, forget it. There's also some system to prevent you from playing illegal CDs - though apparently this is likely to wind up with the OS rejecting lots of monitors with the error message that the monitor has been revoked.

May well get Linux as my next OS - I'd damned if I'm going to have an OS company telling me what I can and can't do with my system. On the contrary, their job is to ensure that I can do whatever I want on my PC, and then shut up, not act as self-appointed policemen.
