Here is a set of mini apps for testing your computer, checking whether it
will and the application on it, of moving up to Windows7.

Whether this is true of not, there has been some discussion around W7's use
of DRM {Digital Rights Management). Some have said that the OS will not
allow media, that it deems in violation of DRM policies, to run within it
and some have suggested that it may even go further.
