Fascinating "FAQ" of Microsoft's new Palladium OS

| | Comments (1)

     I don't know how sound the discussion is that can be found at the following link:
TCPA / Palladium FAQ
But, I was fascinated to say the least. I have had a great number of issues since Microsoft began to push for stronger digital rights management tools (hardware, software and legal) that were, in my view, an invasion of my privacy (#1) and a potential hole for hackers to gain access to my OS. After I saw the writing on the wall, I made the move to OS's like FreeBSD, OS X and Linux. I still manage and run a number of Windows machines, but this is becoming a more reluctant part of my administrative duties... Nevertheless, discussion should ensue and perhaps in the end, Microsoft will make the right decision.

DRM seems more like an excuse to spy on us with different types of bots and spyware. I have dabbled in linux for awhile now and would like to soon switch over completly.
