in response to Ian:
I can't believe this...if this goes through practically everyone who seriously knows how to use a computer will have their capabilities wiped out by this thing. This is basically a media controller. Jeez, if this is the future of computing I may have to rethink my career....
But I really don't think this will happen, just because of the amount of people this will affect negtaively and that it potentially could be illegal. But then, I have nothing to back up that statement.
The whole computer industry is just being to @#$!$@#$!$@#$!$@#$!$ controlling...they should all just make their product and sell it, not try to control the file formats and such. That, IMO, is going a bit too far.
Oh well, good news is that hackers all over will probably be so pissed off it will get hacked to bits pretty quick, even if it is hardwired, there will always be some way around it. There wouldn't ever be any way microsoft could control everyone's computer, and also it seems like this would create a monopoly...but then I also have little knowledge of either of these two subjects.
Yeah, this "Palladium" is now synonymous with "Satan" in my vocabulary. If I was using it, I probably wouldn't ba able to type that.

There will always be a point in your FIRST experience when you realize you can get away with something that is against the rules. It is at that point when you have a choice to make about your own personal ethics, and what sort of example you will set for your students. - ToddF [more]
