No, but it will complicate the ripping of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD media.

Microsoft seems to intentionally leave loopholes in their update and activation software. The "WGA Tray Notifier" for XP that everyone is so pissed about lately is really just an optional download if you do your updates right. Regardless of whether they decide to do that or not, it will undoubtedly be cracked.

Eh, guess my performance isn't so hot compared to yours--that and I had to remove 1 of the XEON processors (long story don't ask). Heh, Vista runs ok I guess. Media Center loads slowly and nVidia's Vista driver is buggy as hell and won't allow full support for multiple displays. <img src=smilies/banghead.gif>

OhhOHHHH it's a beta? I had no idea, guess the Windows Vista Beta 2 on my desktop didn't give it away. <img src=smilies/werd.gif> I thought I'd pass along my experience, that's not a bad thing is it? <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>
