What microsoft and all content owners are risking is that we all get fed up with they're rules, and start pushing linux to what it should be right now, openning the door to hackers like the one from DeCSS, or better than that, that we, consumers, stop buying theyre products.
I use 3 analog monitors. yes, i have an analog TV plus 2 15" CRT's an matrox G550 and guess what? an very old S3 TRio 64 for my 3rd display. Although a bit desktop space hungry, the 2 "old" HP 15" Coulor monitors, and my also "Old" Philips 21" Coulor TV (not on the desktop, obviously) do the job quite right. And i also benefit that, contrary to LCD and other digital pannels, they go well with resolutions from 320x200 to 1280x1024 without geting a small square in the midle of the screen or panning the hole view, like some toshiba's did.
Is this the future we're seeking? I love gadgets, but hey!, old hardware used to be better built. I Still love my old AT Style, Sperry-Univac keyboard! it's almost 20 years old, but it has more key presses than those fancy new ones!
