MS Palladium Patent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the click-here-to-upgrade dept.

Concerned Citizen writes "cryptome has Microsoft's patent for Palladium. Including such gems as: 2. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein protecting the rights-managed data comprises: refusing to load the untrusted program into memory. 14. The computerized method of claim 1, further comprising: restricting a user to a subset of available functions for manipulating the rights-managed data. And I'm sure we'll all be coerced to agree to Palliadium during a future security patch agreement."

  1. Why wait for Palladium to switch to Mac? by yerricde · · Score: 2, Redundant

    The only reason why I'm using windows is because MS office is still superior

    MS office for Mac is superior to MS office for Windows. Go figure.

    So if palladium does become reality I'll have to swap over to Mac.

    Why wait?
