Re: Vista and XSI? Back to VISTA

[Nicolas Langlois <nicolasl(at)buzzimage.com>]

And I remember a firewall software not allowing XSI to run at all as 
well! Very practical and useful. I don't need no one telling me what to 
run and what not to run on my machine.

When the only admin in the world will be located at microsoft HQ and we 
won't even be allowed to choose what we run on our machines for 
security, terrorism, copyrights or whatever reasons they try to blame it 
on, I won't want to be computing anymore! Get people informed, not caged.
