That's it, and the rumors that once Vista is well entrenched, M$ plans to 
try to use the DMCA to force hardware manufacturers to make hardware that 
will be "Vista compatible" that is, hardware that will only run on Vista, 
and nothing else, not even older versions of Windows. THAT is how they 
intend to kill Linux. Somone who so much as writes a driver for any other 
OS will be prosecuted under the DMCA. Sure, we can keep using our old 
hardware, which will eventually become obsolete and break down.
