 Be sure and send a note to the Gnutella people reminding them of all
 you're doing for them, okay, Lucky?

Do the Gnutella people share your feelings on this matter?  I'd be
surprised.

 Actually there seem to be some hardware differences between TCPA and
 Palladium.  TCPA relies on a TPM, while Palladium uses some kind of
 new CPU mode.  Palladium also includes some secure memory, a concept
 which does not exist in TCPA.

This is correct. Palladium has ring -1, and memory that is only 
accessible to ring -1 (or I/O initiated by ring -1).

Cheers,

Ben.

I'm genuinely sorry, but I couldn't resist this...

If only there were a technology in which clients could verify and
yes, even trust, each other remotely.  Some way in which a digital
certificate on a program could actually be verified, perhaps by
some kind of remote, trusted hardware device.  This way you could
know that a remote system was actually running a well-behaved
client before admitting it to the net. This would protect Gnutella
from not only the kind of opportunistic misbehavior seen today, but
the future floods, attacks and DOSing which will be launched in
earnest once the content companies get serious about taking this
network down.

i guess it's appropriate that the world's deepest
