Interesting placement

2007-06-26 18:00:29.100119+02 by meuon 0 comments

2 slashdot stories right next to each other offers me a view of MS-Realitytm:

  • 1. BBC Chooses Microsoft DRM platform
  • 2. Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP

They can't even lock up their own code/software to run on their own OS's, yet the BBS choses them for DRM? Did the BBC choose a DRM platform that they are pretty sure will be made moot of, bypassed, hacked, etc.. while they point a finger at Microsoft and say: "It's not our fault." ?

Sometimes you buy a product, sometimes you buy a scapegoat.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
