All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
M$ to micro-manage your computer (part II - getting deep)
lazygamer:
They do got ALOT of supporters, I mean what if something becomes too widespread too quickly to outhack it? Perhaps the US government might find this Palladium stuff to be grounds for sueing?
Hopefully the media will have a hayday on it, too much potential for controvesy.
It's a scary situation, luckily with Microsoft at the helm...
voidmain:
I don't see how they can do this without the non-x86 chip manufacturers also getting on board. I can't imagine it happening, not without a HUUUUUGE battle! What about programmers? Are they going to have to pay M$ for every new program they write if they want to be able to distribute their program? Fuck those arrogant bastards is all I have to say!!
voidmain:
And I suppose this will be the only supported operating system:

So there IS something after XP. Ok well I have's two theories here.
A:Microsoft is predictable as usual.
B:Microsoft tries to take away some of the ammunition that the Anti-MS community has, by making the current "ammunition" invalid. This would be accomplished by fixing alot of the crap stuff in Windows.
So you'd have a Windows OS that rarely crashes, is not a resource hog, secure, low on bugs, and is fast. At the same time it still has MS's other "behind the scenes" stuff.
Without this ammunition you no longer have an incentive for the "semi-average" Wind0ze user to switch to Linux.
voidmain:
HA! Fat chance... It's all the more reason to switch away from M$. They spell it out that all of the products people spending money on now will be obsolete. It's a never ending cycle that ends with a trainload of money heading for Redmond, WA.
