You have a unique product to sell, but, depending on your implementation, you may risk leaking TCPA-protected material into the non-TCPA portion of your machine.
If the VM ties in with the hardware TCPA, then the material is protected. Microsoft can cheaply sell (or give away) the software without getting sued for irresponsibility.
If the VM doesn't tie in with the hardware TCPA (It most certainly wouldn't if it's intended to run on older hardware, or on PPC hardware.), then there's only a couple options. You could A) license the software for a really really really high price, preventing joe average user from getting it and prying out TCPA's material, or you could encrypt TCPA's allocation of memory. Statistically, the stronger the encryption, the cheaper you could safely sell the software. Until you reach the point where the software can't be exported outside the US.
On a completely different route, they could give away VPC, doing the same thing to VMWare as they did to Netscape, then add their own feature enhancements ala MSHTML.
Probably the easiest way to leverage their software would be to make some of the registers general, but not document the fact. Then MS software could run faster on their VM than on other VMs.
With every buyout and merge they examine, they have to come up with all the possible conspiracy theories that could relate to the event, then they have to figure out which ones are likely enough to worry about.
The easiest radio network to find on the dial in your average area is NPR. They've always been aligned with the Democratic party. Their timely show, Talk of the Nation, uses leading questions, interrupts the speakers giving answers they're not looking for, and tries to stick to guests who are heavily into Bush-bashing.
Apparently, if you're a Democrat, it's currently hip to inflate the negative aspects, and downplay the positive aspects, of anything Bush does or says.
(Trying to think of a way to word this without being modded "troll")
The "imminent threat" the Democrats keep looking for probably isn't there. The real threat comes from Saddam giving out little packets of Vx or other nasty stuffs.
Of course, North Korea is more of a threat in both senses of the word; they have a variety of methods to attack high-density populations in South Korea (one of our major economic buddies.), and they're just as capable of passing out those little packets...
lol. I wasn't old enough to vote yet. My first voting experience was the November after.
It was funny, too. I hadn't been handed a privacy sleeve for my ballot, and the directions said that I should place my ballot in one. I asked for one, (got one), and learned she was absolutely delighted that I had asked for one, since it meant I had to have had read all of the directions to find that I was supposed to have one.
You have to remember that most of the voting facilities (At least in West Michigan) are manned by people who experienced Pearl Harber and whose beliefs in America's freedom was reenforced by America's role in WWII.
...Can only be possible with a sort of one-way encryption of a code, such as an md5sum. I'd hate to be able to have a vote traced back to me.
The next issue will be how to let the voter verify his vote (in the case of a recount, or contested count) without being identified as having voted one way or another.
Actually, tinfoil will take care of microwave signals rather nicely. Try lining your microwave oven with it. You'll see an immediate difference. YMMV.;)
I can definately see the advantages in being able to map a source of data on a two-dimensional map. That would do a darn good job at filtering out jamming signals.
Be careful about the biology that could result, should you meet her in person. You wouldn't want to have to deal with the continuing biology that may crop up nine months later.
It's a religous war. You see, you've got these guys in blue stripes claiming there are Articles, and the guys in red stripes (which also means they're in charge) persecute the ones in blue stripes.
Both sides spend all their time on Slashdot modding members of the other side to death in a computer game based on "discussions."

No, they're called rocket motors.
An engine is something else.
You wouldn't, but the MPAA/RIAA would.
Which brings to mind...
What happens if you have a TCPA capable VM?

Sounds like good work for Slashdot junkies.
I thought 2-week MBA's went out of style with the start of the recession. :)
Nothing new. Same thing with this guy.
My grandmother was terrified after she watched The Net, as my family runs an ISP... :)
That's something to look forward to:
The Bastard Programmer From Hell.
Wait...the entrance to the Hell plane is in Microsoft HQ, isn't it. Figures.
...YOU veto the DMCA.
Wouldn't that be nice?
(Ugh...I feel vile for attempting to make a funny ISR joke.)

Nah...just use the DMCA to slam anyone who touches said computer into jail for a maximum prison sentence.
It looks like UNIX, it acts like UNIX, it feels like UNIX, it's UNIX.
Methinks you're equating the social perspective with factual reality.

I don't know which day it was, so here's a link to their archived shows for this month.

My workstation is a P166 laptop with with an onboard TGUI9660 and a 2.1GB HD.
Don't even think about mentioning Java to me. grr...
Yeah. You wouldn't put tinfoil in your microwave oven, would you? :)

Using an IR camera, a firefighter can see animated fire behind a sheet of 1/2" drywall.

I'll have to try it. Would it fare well on my P166 laptop?
Didn't know that. Hope someone mods you Informative. I'll try it. Thanks.
