"Entertainment control freaks have an ally in Microsoft": http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/opinion/dgillmor/dg102401.htm 'That latest version of Media Player, which I recently downloaded, comes with a remarkable user license. It says, in part: ``You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software protected by digital rights management (`Secure Content'), Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto your computer. These security related updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and use other software on your computer. If we provide such a security update, we will use reasonable efforts to post notices on a Web site explaining the update.'' In other words, Microsoft asserts the right to remotely change your PC's configuration and otherwise muck with your system.' ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo." - The Holy Mad Cow http://www.holymadcow.org
