All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
i want to cry

Actually, I think the odds are for us. First, it's gonna take about 3 years for this longhorn crap to come out, unless it gets delayed even longer. Then most people are going to avoid spending money on new hardware....because if you remember, this palladium system will require ALL NEW HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE for it to work. So only people buying new systems after longhorn comes out will be stuck. Other people will simply not want to spend the cash.....cuz we're too smart or too cheap!

MS Claims
""Palladium" can't do that. "Palladium's" security chip (the SSC) and other features are not involved in the boot process of the OS or in the OS's decision to load an application that doesn't use a "Palladium" feature and execute it. Because "Palladium" is not involved in the boot process, it cannot block an OS, or drivers or any non-"Palladium" PC application from running. Only the user decides what "Palladium" applications get to run. Anyone can write an application to take advantage of "Palladium" APIs without notifying Microsoft (or anyone else) or getting its (or anyone else's) approval."

It's nice having you step away from windows.
I do think that puters will be influenced by that palladium shit, because I think, when it will continue, it will become a standard to put them chips all over every puter's hardware.
Especiallty on the M$-begger's OEM puters ...
But flexible as the open source comminity has always been, we'll find a solution ...
We'll find a solution to anything!

No, Mc0454.
This stuff likely won't affect Mac's any time soon. Apple has supported Mp3's, open source, and several other non-Palladium initiatives in the past and does so currently. I don't see them adopting any tyranical TCPA style BS any time soon.
Remember, when Apple started out, they were manufacturing Blue Boxes to hack the phone system and make free phone calls. Their into freedom :D
