Bullshit on the audio front. Vista had no stereo mix as an output device until proper audio drivers were installed - which initially they weren't because there were not many available that were properly supported. Install proper drivers for 7 from Realtek and you get Stereo Mix as an input device. Failing that - just get Virtual Audio Cable and make some virtual sound streams to rip protected audio.

This happens to defeat the aim of Free Knowledge - something that is at the core of Wikipedia, and Veropedia too.
