are they serious???

so i just skimmed thru the whole article and dnt no if its just one big joke or not, but assuming that it isnt then why would people actually buy this new software/OS? wouldnt people just migrate to linux or whatever, causing microsoft to lose money?

the way i see it, people use computers as a way of expressing themselves, people on this forum, as 3d artists express themselves through 3d art, people go onto chats and forums to express themselves and their views on certain topics, i think its all just gone two steps too far; limiting peoples abilities to do things on computers, and like darkware said, theres no more flexbility with the introduction of this software and chip!

restricting peoples power to do something legal (like listening to a CD!!!) is not right in my opinion, but it is ourselves who have brought this upon us, maybe we're to blame for all of this :s i dunno, im confused and angry

gunna go borrow a load of cds off my friend so i know which albums are worth buying!
