The way I picture the Palladium, is that it's a middle man between you and your computer. It makes sure everything you do is yours and is legel. Do you have any idea what this will mean?! You open a program and it will make sure it's yours and crap... Do you have any idea how much CPU power that will take?! Windows XP is already a CPU and RAM hog as it is! If this does happen, I will no longer be a PC User. I will go to strictly Macintosh. Mac OS X is awesome, Becasue it can run Macintosh software and most Linux based software. You may say "Why not just stay with PC and use Linux?!" Well, that will not disable the Palladium, and microsoft may even set it up where it will cause your computer not to run it, plus just the idea of Microsoft having a chip in my computer! Who KNOWS what they can program into that thing! They could even have it setup to remote desktop and watch what you are doing at all times!! This idea really drives me insane, i will not let microsoft run my life..... ever! -- "This is a Unix system. I know this." - Lex.
