I'm so sick of this *&$%.  It's my $%^*ing computer, not the RIAA's, not the MPAA's, not Microsoft's.  Screw that.

Remember when MS wrote their OS to take advantage of the hardware being produced?  Now they dictate to the hardware manufacturers what they must put in.  

The whole point of the PC platform was that it was an open architecture and lots of vendors could compete.  This is just bull#$%^.  MS is going to kill the PC.

The PC wasn't even an open architecture to begin with.  You don't see Intel giving out the specs to x86, do you?  And IBM clones didn't start due to openness - they were reverse engineered (or, eventually, licensed), as a lot of stuff still is.

Commodity architecture, yes, but not open.  It appears there might have been an evil plan like this all along.
