There's a slight difference between tcpa and DRM

I know. The difference becomes less noticable when the DRM-system used to dongle your PC to certain files works via TCPA.

Yeah, the name got out before the official MS announcement and I thought it was a joke. It's a really bad name IMO, but it does fit in with all the other marketing they've been doing. If you've seen their recent commercials you can see how "Vista" fits with that.
Considering that many of the features of Vista (ugh, it sounds so stupid) will be available as additions to Windows XP, likely in the form of SP3, I continue to see no need to purchase this OS.
I've been fine with Windows XP and have said since they announced Blackcomb and Longhorn that they should have just scrapped the codebase and created a new next-gen OS from scratch since users would be content with Windows XP for a much longer time than their previous OSes.

Wow.
I didn't even know Longhorn had been renamed to Vista, so when I first saw the name on this thread, I thought it was some crappy attempt by MS to make a Photoshop-esque piece of software or something...
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

to get back to talking about Vista, i read an article recently saying that Vista is spanish for "pleasing view" or something like that, which (as far as i am aware) is wrong. as far as i can see, Vista simply means something "sight" or "view", hence the need for "Buena" at the start of things like the company name "Buena Vista". if i am right in this, i really dislike the subtle spin being put on it.
