Except for setting it up I have not used it yet on line or for anything. I will pull it out of the closet and update it to see exactly what was done and report back after US Memorial Day (Monday). I noticed one thing and that was a Sony notation with it that states this laptop qualifies for a upgrade to Windows Vista when it is released from Sony.
One other thing I did notice was that the warranty would be void if I uninstalled Windows or the Sony media programs and placed any other operating systems on it except Windows Vista. Sony is another one that is high on DRM and it shows they have no respect for Open Source what so ever. I still believe certain media outlets and Microsoft are trying to take full control of most media on the internet so that it only plays on Microsoft systems. I am still wondering what happened to anti-trust, not only in the US, but other countries also. Are media sources and Microsoft that strong that they are above laws or is it they have certain people in their pockets where they look the other way? Microsoft needs to be stopped and if our governments will not do it then we need to unite the people, prove to them that Microsoft wants to take away their freedoms of even being able to call a computer their own. Anyone buying Vista has given up their right to install hardware, software of their choice and reading the MS EULA you are only renting the OS as it is not yours. Microsoft is not for the consumer but is lost in its own quest for control, greed and to either buy out competitors, show contempt, or out right lie about patents, dishonesty, and the most important, they will steal or copy any software that is known to be better then their own.
