|  | | Vista SP1 to replace 'Reduced Functionality' with nagware |
In a prepared Q&A released by Microsoft this morning, corporate vice president for Windows product marketing Mike Sievert divulged that Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) - a service that disables certain features of Windows Vista until the user activates the system, assuming she can - will be scrapped in Service Pack 1. In its place will be something that reduces the user's experience instead.

| That might actually be a good thing.
Vista just sucks. Even pirates don't want Vista! There are definitely thousands of folks out there who are perfectly happy with Vista. That only leaves the other few million customers...
Now they can hopefully use the slightly increased number of pirated users to inflate their bull**** usage statistics! |

The kill switch is a feature to smack some rationality into senseless users so they realize their mistake, bang their heads on the wall and revert to XP. | | | | yet another reason not to use vista (as though there werent enough reasons already) | | | | Vista SP1 to replace 'Reduced Functionality' with nagware 
Keep reaching for that golden ring MS !!  | | | | lets see
pay 150-200 for vista basic...
or pay an extra 200 for some useless themes, features and windows games that i can hack to work?
......WAKE UP YOU MICROSOFTCOCK! | | | | Shouldn't you have self-censored that? Never mind, we're all licensed to flame M$ to oblivion. | | | | I think this is a step in the right direction..by experience they generally mean visuals, and we know these are not really critical to sytem functionality... However, this is a doube-edged sword as the visual experience is one of the key reasons people want to buy/use vista, right? go figure... |

| Quote | | | | | the visual experience? its just a new fangled scheme, if you want a new visiual experience do like i do and get a killer desktop replacement, looks 100x better then vista | | | | Yeah i'm inclined to agree, but what they are saying is that you will be able to disable unnecessary things like the taskbar mini-tabs in order to save RAM...but I can't really think of much else tho....Aero?..  |
