Why are _none_ of these reviews of Vista giving *any* attention to computer scientist Peter Guttman's serious criticisms of Vista and his allegations that Vista's ultimate purpose is to give MS control of content through DRM?

http://m-net.net.nz/software-development/news/guttman-stands-by-vista-drm-suicide-note-claims.php

He further alleges that Vista imposes onerous specifcations on hardware manufactures that impair ("cripple") performance and give MS the ability to globally "revoke" a non-conforming device via internet!

All I am reading are these harmless reviews that seem to think so-called "Trusted" computing is actually a good thing for the industry, instead of the privacy invading mechanism that it actually is.

C'mmon, if you disagree at least say so, and WHY.
