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?

    Why won't you answer my first question?

    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.

    Are they releasing details on when they plan on invading Poland? Just so i can be sure to leave The Continent before then.

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

    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.
