Questions for a Lecture on Microsoft's Palladium?
An anonymous reader asks: "Microsoft is going to be giving a lecture on Palladium
for my Computer and Network Security class at MIT this Thursday. We're told that it's going to be the most technically detailed lecture publically given to date, and that we should be armed with questions as a result. Any suggestions from the Slashdot crowd? What technical details have you been dying to know about Palladium?" It would be interesting to hear back from someone who is planning on attending this. For those who wish they were, but can't for one reason or another, what would you have asked by proxy?
No matter what your first question is, if it's from Slashdot, your second question will be:
Why won't you answer my first question?
"Will it run Linux?"
ask them to stop being asses and see how they respond.

Why did you choose to build your new processor out of Palladium.
Silicon, with aluminium or copper, is the more traditional choice.
...that you'll adopt Palladium if Steve runs and jumps around like an idiot for an hour. Then after he's done, tell them you were just kidding. He could use the exercise.
Hey, why did you mod me down... it was a perfectly legit question... I guess the mod don't have a sense of humor, you know... tombstone pizza?
Hey, this is my sig, if you don't like it, STOP READING MY POSTS!
Are they releasing details on when they plan on invading Poland? Just so i can be sure to leave The Continent before then.
I refuse to have a sig... dammit!

Once Palladium has gained market acceptance, will the borg-gear be a requirement, or more of a 'perk' for loyal customers and trusted partners?

They might not have an answer for this, exactly, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's dying to know: What the FUCK?

A. After it is released what is the ETA of the hack that will work around Palladium?
B. How many months will it be before MS comes out with a patch for the above mentioned hack?

Are you astroturfing for fun, or profit?
Thank God my XP box is compatible with the Internet. I can tell The Internet is working, because ZoneAlarm keeps telling me when Media Player tries to Phone Home.
Maybe because we can't grammatical sentences?
"Hardly used" will not fetch you a better price for your brain.
Yes, but at least we can vote those idiots out every 2 years.
Those involved in dreaming up this Palladium scheme are surely corporate spies from Apple.

I've already taken this into consideration. Knowing that Micro$oft likely browses at 5 I went ahead and rated down the best questions so far as -1 "Flamebait".
They'll never know.
Does all our base, in fact, belong to you?
What options are likely to exist for people that do not wish to use Palladium?
If MS gets their way, I'd imagine they'd range from "eating shit" all the way to "dying."
