• Less Identity theft
  95 million Americans have had there identity compromised. Thats 45% of working Americans.
  The total lack of data security, mostly by large banks, credit account agents and the government makes us all at risk of this kind of theft.
  These agencies take no responsibility except to notify the victims. Some times there is restoration of funds, but mostly it is (sorry we screwed up your life - have a nice day).
  So far I have only seen the government protect these agencies.
  If there is less identity theft in the past year, it is dumb luck.
  The only way this will change is to make the
  agencies criminally accountable for there lack of security.

• Has Windows Bought into Strong DRM
  I have been told Vista has very strong DRM. DRM is a problem for my clients now and I cannot recomend a switch fron XP pro if Microsoft has bought into these Hollywood intervention's into fair use of copywrited materals. Microsoft has been very coy on this subject. DRM can make a computer very user unfriendly. My clients are leaning to open source. I think Microsoft will have a hard sell if the DRM restrictions are strong.
