I've seen a couple of effectively cracked copies of Vista floating around the IT malls in my neck of the woods (Yup, SE Asia isn't exactly known for it's anti-piracy efficiency) but I'm still not interested in it.

I have a huge issue with the way it is so heavily crippled with DRM, and works on the assumption that every one of their customers are thieves. It disgusts me, and it smells like a monopoly - And traditionally monopolies aren't good things.

That said, I don't have much faith in Apple either, Mr. Jobs has yet to actually act on anything that he recently said about freeing i-pods and the upcoming i-phone from DRM. Hopefully it won't end up just being lip service on his part...
