14225-2105 | big brother MS Oh, boy, this is great. I'm going to entrust my data to the same folks that wrote (and then patched, then patched, then patched again, then patched yet again, and then patched still again, then patched the patch...) Outlook (as only one of MANY bletcherous examples)? You will have to pry my cold, dead fingers off my PC before I will let these hooligans stick some bug-ridden, flea-bitten ASIC in my computer. I agree with the sentiments of going G4/OS X if the PC architecture somehow gets infected by these dolts.
Actually, think about this a moment. Anyone else remember a proposed ASIC called Clipper? Yep, I don't think that went too far either. To me, it's the same thing. They tell you it's to enhance the security (whatever the hell that is in this context) of your data and your communications. But if you think about it, it seems like one huge backdoor for the hugest spyware project...implemented in hardware no less! MS is such a predatory company, is there anyone else who thinks they might take this opportunity to popup/popunder/spam/(insert your most annoying advert activity here) you, no matter what (because they have their fingers in your most basic level, your hardware)?
Besides...we already have a more secure IP for anyone who chooses to adopt it: IPv6. What makes anyone think they're going to have any better success implementing Palladium than the ones who are trying to spread IPv6?
