TCPA/Palladium cut from Longhorn

They probably will, but the minute palladium prevents a user from doing something, or locks them out of some software, or does soemthing that the user does not want to happen, I can see them looking for a new system. Or palladium won't be a big deal at all, and longhorn will actually end up being somewhat decent. Who knows buddy.

that would be the ideal case, but more than likely when someone gets some error locking them out of their system they'll just say, "the 'puter's broken" and reinstall

Well, thats the thing.  In a DRM/TCPA computer, your machine becomes much like a game concole or single unit.  If it does something unexpected.  The only solution would be to get a whole new computer.

This, I believe, is what m$ wants.

to A.) Rent to you ALL programs on your machine.

b.) Make sure you buy a new machine every couple of months.  M$ makes money on winblows, the chipmakers make money off the hardware.

Software can be completely be 0wned by M$!!!
