about microsoft works in vista

trying to make digital files uncopyable is like trying to make water not wet. With Vista, Microsoft seems to have done a pretty good job of making premium content files not copyable.

Now a few readers have tipped us to a new wrinkle: Vista also makes it very, very slow to copy, rename, or delete ordinary files.

Here is a Microsoft TechNet thread on the problem.

Re: calculating time remaining moving, deleteing, copying files verry slow - TechNet Forums

The Reg reports that Microsoft has a hotfix for what sounds like a subset of the more general problem complained about on TechNet but they will only give it to customers who ask nicely.

And a hotfix is fussier to install than a proper patch.
