Well then, if "palladium" or whatever they call it now bothers you so much, don't use Longhorn.

Easier said than done buddy. That shit aint ever coming anywhere near my PC, but unfortunately the sheepish Microsoft world will embrace Longhorn as "a cool new innovative awesome" OS and the MS monopoly will continue.

Lime:
They probably will, but the minute palladium prevents a user from doing something, or locks them out of some software, or does soemthing that the user does not want to happen, I can see them looking for a new system. Or palladium won't be a big deal at all, and longhorn will actually end up being somewhat decent. Who knows buddy.

Kind-a saw that coming. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. They can put as much DRM and Pallashit into Longhorn/WinXP, I don't care. TCPA is what really ticks me off. I don't want TCPA hardware on my system.

Hmmm, this reminds me of something...

oh yeah, remember when they forced IE on OEMs? Looks like they are going to force TCPA on OEMs. History repeats.

Windows has been consistently 'doing things the user doesn't want to happen' from the beginning. Unfortunately lots of people tend to just live with it. Viruses being the best example. Buddy.
