I agree with everything you said so far, but what if I use Linux, and a friend/teacher sends me a DRM Word document? I can read DRM-less Word document with OpenOffice.org.

Hello? did you read my post? No, i thought not.

STUFF IN VISTA IS NOT ENCRYPTED!
For the love of god, man. Vista has BitLocker Drive encryption, which encrypts your hard drive's data, yes. BUT IT IS NOT ON BY DEFAULT, and I don't even know how to turn it on.

How do you think i transfer files between my home computer and school, when school runs a different version of office and a different version of Windows?

As a general rule of thumb, anyone who plans to send a file from one computer to another should save that file in a format which allows for maximum compatibility. I've learned that the hard way (on more than one occassion). Even when saving files for use in the same program, different versions aren't always compatible. (Flash MX Pro to Flash MX, for example, does not work unless you save in a compatible format) And if your friend/teacher knows you, they should know you wouldn't touch Vista with a 12 foot pole, and should save their documents accordingly.

1) DRM is baked into Office 2007 for the first time
2) DRM is supported in Windows XP SP2

olileauk:
what makes you think my school have office '07, or XP sp2?

most, if not all of our school computers, run XP, with no service packs. our school ran Office 2000 until april this year when they finally got 2003.

YOUR ARGUMENT FAILS AGAIN, LOLZ
