Concern

You should read Peter Gutmann’s Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection.

(Also, according to Slashdot, this is an article on “security” by a “medical imaging” expert, which is so completely wrong it’s really funny. I’m sure that 90% of articles on Slashdot are exactly this wrong, and I just don’t understand the subject of the article enough to notice.)

Update: Peter has updated his piece, adding more footnotes and a “mini-FAQ” to address (in an appropriately dismissive way) critics of it. And judging by the reactions I’ve read, few of you understand at all (a) the issues he is discussing, or (b) the tone Peter uses in his writing. Also, this weblog is a top-ten hit for certain keyword searches on the subject, in which case I weep for the dear Internet surfer’s future if I am a key source of information.
