With DRM, Microsoft had what is known as subset-key revocation. This is where they could reach inside a vista pc and neuter it if they thought you tried to crack the AES encryption on a DVD (or play a bootleg). They do have the power to look inside your computer at anything they want. I wont be going to the vista os, EVER. Luckily they have to keep up xp for a while. I don't like that :shock: Yep!

It's just for our PC's security. As long as they change only "update files", there is nothing to worry about. I don’t think that will be of any harm to our PC. It’s just for our PC’s security.
