More Microsoft Working Against You

Yet again, Microsoft is planning to make your computer less useful. Boing Boing is pointing to a story about Windows Vista that explains that if you upgrade to Microsoft's Windows Vista, suddenly images that have special codes in them will be blurred out on your monitor. The only way to see them non-blurred is to buy a special type of computer monitor. And this monitor needs a high-bandwidth internet connection, and will surrepetitiously report the images that you are looking at to God-knows-who.
