Vista Set To Restrict Your Media

Filed under:Technology — posted by Q Ball on 8/30/2005 @ 4:20 pm

Cnet has reported that Windows Vista will have new far reaching restrictions on digital music and video. The article suggests that some monitors or tv’s that only have analog inputs will not display high quality videos or that Vista will downgrade the video when sending to the monitor. I believe this is outrageous that Microsoft is going this far to confine consumers. They should be making robust operating systems that are consumer friendly. I was so peeved by the article that I sent the EFF an email to inform them if they didn’t already know.

Once everything switches to digital there will be no stopping the large companies from implementing restrictions like these. We need to continue to produce some analog systems which cannot be controlled. I have considered starting a website dedicated to preserving and advocating the continuance of analog.
