Vista - Has anyone noticed?

That paladin is running in full force?

hardware + Software DEP

What's paladin? Please elaborare more.
hardware + Software DEP ??? What?

Paladin initiative was the name for Vista to curb modification and or making copies of there o/s and was planned to implement supscription based software. another words used to turn the O/S and other software to subscription based rather than hard copy right now they are in the phase to get everyone use to downloading and relaying on the automatic updates so when they do switch no one will notice or care when it happens. remember they do wrie real tight code or can! apollo 11 software fit on a floppy disk!. and the software for the shuttle is pretty close to that.

this is why so many people have troubles with Dep, Defender and UAC because of the hardware built into all the processors .

they will find away around it. They all ways do!!!

The Adware and scareware companies already have!. and they use dep and all the others to keep you from removing thier software as well!.

Funny, no problems here with any of that....

Hmmm.....black helicopters, white unmarked vehicles, men in black suits, tin foil hat....

yeah me neither! i was talking about if microsoft got rid of putting their OS's on disc they (hackers and recoders) would find a way around it.

plus there is no way that they ever could get rid of them on disc, at the moment, unless they put them on usb sticks.

This kinda statement is what makes folks blow off posts!. it is in fact. DEP is hardware enabled!. Maybe the first use of the palidan chip that is onboard the Microprocessor. this is in fact is a foot in the door to what will be coming soon as in when Microsoft first made the the announcement of longhorn. Which indeed caused an out roar they have since renamed and renamed palidan till the came up with DEP.
zdnet or maybe it was cnet reported silient updates are occuring again. the ones they did find seemed to be patches to fix a update. But then again blach Helios and stuff to pacify the crowd.
