BadVista: Amazon got it tagged
Receiving and forwarding the latest email from BadVista.org
Most store owners might frown on stickering products on their shelves, but Amazon.com encourages customers to leave labels using their tagging system.
You can help advertise the unadvertised restrictions included in Vista by participating in this action:
DefectiveByDesign.org successfully campaigned to add tags to DRM-laden products being sold via Amazon. You can now find over 775 crippled products tagged with “defectivebydesign”.
Unsurprisingly, the various versions of Windows Vista are already on that list. 14 people have gotten the ball rolling by tagging “Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium” with “defectivebydesign”.
How about we get some more up there? Take a minute to visit the page for each of the Vista versions and leave tags that express your opinion about the software, so that other potential users will have a chance to learn about the unadvertised Vista “features” that lock you out of your own computer.

Also, thanks to everyone who sent feedback to Microsoft about their exclusion of BadVista.org from search results at live.com! We’re making progress there—a search for “BadVista” does now finally turn up results from the site.
Have you tagged it?
