TuxRacer also runs (look at the new screenhots on the website), but only with one frame per second. Check out screenshots here."

    While the 1st-gen DRM schemes can be broken, what happens when better integration prevents you from being able to "chip" a machine? What happens if the cost of the chip (and installation) keep going up?

    I think this is more of a lesson to MSFT about what precautions you need to make for a DRM box to really work!
