Windows Vista DVD – Now With Added Irony
Reading the Windows Vista Team blog today I came across an article that made me chuckle.
Nick White – a Microsoft product manager – describes how the images present in the DVD hologram are designed to make counterfeiting Vista more difficult:
“…one of multiple images contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD. The other images are of old master works of art that are in the public domain.”
I wonder if anyone over at Microsoft saw the irony of using work in the public domain to protect proprietary software and intellectual property?
