Yes, Palladium appears, to me anyway, as the biggest push by MS yet to extend the monopoly stranglehold it has on the PC marketplace...it's also interesting the co-conspirators they have enlisted...such companies as Intel, AMD, Sun, and IBM to name a few. If Palladium is implemented, it could well mean the end of the Internet as we know it. It will become owned and operated by MS and Company...it should make ALL users of computers sit up and take notice. But, I have this sinking feeling that most will simply sign up and go on about their merry way. What's ironic is a list of "10 Rules" about your computer that was published on another MS site: The gist of which says that if you let ANYONE else run an application on your computer, or use your web site, then the computer or your website is no longer yours...but in fact belongs to the other person. That was in regards to the recent spate of email OutLook Virus/Trojans... CU L8R!
