Argh, mateys!

I've still got some mixed feelings about the new version of Windows that will be coming out (frankly, I'm still holding out hope for a Google operating system), but from what I've heard so far, it sounds decent to say the least. Another new feature--expanded piracy features that prohibit unlicensed versions of the software from functioning properly. Shiver me timbers, Jack Sparrow, but that sounds a bit like a challenge to all the hackers out there! Hopefully, though, Microsoft will follow through and step up both the anti-piracy and the anti-virus software. Windows is great, but it needs to get closer to Fort Knox in terms of security. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has lost countless multimedia files to virus-driven crashes!
