Some proprietary software is designed to restrict and attack its users. Windows Vista is a big advance in this field; the reason it requires replacement of old hardware is that the new models are designed to support unbreakable restrictions. Microsoft thus requires users to pay for shiny new shackles. It is also designed to permit forced updating by corporate authority. Hence the BadVista.org campaign, which urges Windows users not to &lsquo;upgrade&rsquo; to Vista. (For the equally malicious Windows 7 and Windows 8, we now have Windows7Sins.org and UpgradeFromWindows8.org.) Mac OS also contains features designed to restrict its users.
