In an textfile essay on the "the cost involved in Vista's content protection, and the collateral damage that this incurs throughout the computer industry," Peter Gutmann says "the Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history." Link to full text. (thanks to everyone who suggested this!)

BB reader Henrik says, "I wrote a raptune about two nerds who wait for Windows Vista. The project is called n00b Killaz and Henrik Persson was the writer, performer and producer. Mårten Olsson was the mixer. All in good fun!" MP3 Link. I like it!
