Microsoft Planning Digital Restrictions Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-server-infrastructure-solution-to-bind-them-all dept.

Jon James writes "Microsoft is pushing further into digital rights management with a plan for a DRM server due to go into beta testing later this year, eWeek is reporting. Microsoft has already applied for a patent for a DRM operating system but would not say if the DRM server would be based on this. In an interview last week with eWeek, Jim Allchin, Microsoft's group vice president for platforms, said a DRM server is but one of three server infrastructure applications coming next year."

    How long until Microsoft uses a stealth boat to start a war between the US and Japan just so that they have exclusive media coverage of the events as they unfold, or with Germany just so they can start a trade embargo that will limit our ability to use that cool new KDE Groupware System?
