<br>Wow, that's awesome! I'm so glad to know that those people have my Best Interest at Heart. That must be why Microsoft says the London Stock Exchange is a Happy Customer ( <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/uk/getthefacts/lse.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/uk/getthefacts/lse.mspx</a> ), but the LSE is in fact <br>
soon to become an ex-customer ( <a href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform">http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform</a> ). <br>

The DRM stuff that dominates the Vista OS uses loads of cpu cycles to<br>
encrypt and decrypt stuff to keep people from being thievin' scum<br>
bags and depriving the poor movie and music studios of their well<br>
deserved monies. It has gone so far as to encrypt data en-route to the<br>
HDMI-capable TV set so movies can't be copied using the "analog hole"<br>
.<br>
<br>
Many ideas have been suggested for ways to help Microsoft fill their<br>
analog hole....<br>
