Been reading this same sort of doom and gloom regarding Microsoft for years. When MS makes mistakes (frequently), they often do change their course-- and quickly.
Back in 2002, MS announced Palladium trusted computing bound to the chip, would be involved in it's next version of WinXP. With it, software developers could license directly to the processor serial number. There was such a big outcry, that it was quickly dismissed. Looks like they're taking another run at it- but I imagine it will be bypassed quickly by smart developers who know what their customers want. Now with Jobs pushing for non-DRM'd music (yay!), I expect even more pressure will come to bear on MS's draconian DRM practices. And MS stockholders and Wall Street won't suffer their stupidity long on this issue. I predict it will be a non-issue in 12 months. -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
