I've had Vista running for a couple of weeks and whilst it does look really cool there can be some issues with compatibility. Some apps won't run and drivers can be a pain to find for some hardware.

There's been a lot of focus put on virtualisation. Virtual folders are in to help you find files easier they work like a search and you can tag files with useful info very easily. It's akin to the way you manage music files in media player.

Virtulisation is definatley the way forward as it avoids loads of issues in effect you can have a 100% proof restore point (otherwise known as a snapshot) it also makes it harder for malware/spyware/adware/virus' etc etc etc.. well hopefully

Could someone explain how exactly Vista will prevent you from pirating?

Welcome to PCHF bro_c

This article (whilst a little old) gives you the general idea: http://news.com.com/FAQ+Vistas+stron...3-5844071.html

Thanks for the link.

The article only talks about protecting movies/music media.

Is it known whether or not a similar concept will be implemented with CD-ROM/DVD-ROM programs?

i just can't believe how much space it going to take up 15GB

So the Beta 2 went public... I downloaded it like 2000 times and every time it would complain about my disk space, which I had plenty, until now I finally discovered it was because Fat32 can't store files that large
