It's been a few years since the introduction of TCPA, and so far, all we've seen are DRM sound files.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

Heh yeah. Apple is apparently using similar technology for less-evil reasons - stopping OS X running on generic PCs, rather than generic PCs running non-windows.

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

The way I understand the TCPA specification, it's nothing like the people fear it is like. It's going to be a good thing. Ofcourse, I could be wrong, but having actually read the stuff myself, it seems safe and good :P

Why would they stay out of it when they can use it to go beyond the preinstallation monopoly they have now and force PC makers to use TCPA chips that won't allow non-Windows OSes to run?
