Survey: Keyboards, DRM to become scarce in 2012

RE: Survey: Keyboards, DRM to become scarce in 2012: Keyboards will be with us for a long time, but DRM is already dying. Low-cost or free music downloads, without DRM, will be the rule. Blu-ray discs will continue to have "rights protection" until someone figures out how to break it (this will happen within 3 years). Then DRM will be gone for good.

One more prediction: Microsoft's Windows 7 will be a success, but most users will be slow to adopt. Bad experiences (and bad press) with Vista will make people skeptical about "new-improved" claims. The party is clearly over.; Posted by: barence773 Posted on: 01/08/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
