Ever considered why windows XP became so weak, why viruses got so frequent on it. The reason is not just that it had been made in 2001 and while the makers had tools of 1990s to make it, hackers used the 2000s and the technology to open it up. That may be a reason, but here I present another one: DRM.
Now what is DRM?

That's how. To see that they could promote anti-piracy by getting autoruns in place, they hid the prevent autorun from there. And also gave autorun enough power to prevent music play, remain aloof of the system or in other words, control a lot of the system. And the result is here: Piracy ended(joking)Thanks to google, enough pirated stuff can be searched on net. And technologies like torrents and rapidshare are there at service. Windows came back to cover up flaws in Vista(the bigger flaw)....But that's life and that's how it goes.


Hey, Just a personal opinion, don't file a case on me over it......
