MSFT should just get a patent on the [SHIFT] key as a DRM system.
Then they can charge a levy on all Music labels.
Why not? I mean, if you Double-Click the CD Icon, you are already using patented innovative MSFT technology.
Personally, I can't wait till MSFT patents the ToasterTM.
I can see it now... (cue dream sequence)
New MSFT Toaster Vista (Corporate Office Edition) Features innovative 5 slice design, built-in Popup Blocking! and anti-toast Phishing feature! (workaround available via the undocumented [pull-plug feature]). Users will love the new streamlined interface... all the controls for each slice bay (cough tab) are on the far side of the toaster (cough, horrible IE7 tab implementation)... each slice is pre-buttered with MSFT Genuine Fudder(R) so you don't have to...
On his bank site (Cahoot), it requests that you use your mouse to pick, from a select list, with a scroll bar, which item you want. It isn't perfect, but it is fairly effective in stopping even a keylogger.
The keylogger, wouldn't recognize a keystroke, because there wouldn't be one. If it was a "good" app, it might pick up the mouse click, and the co-ordinates of the click, but... the browser window, may be in a different spot each time, the scrolling of the page may be different, AND, the scrolling within the select list, WILL likely be different.
So, hacker, if lucky, would have evidence of mouse clicks, but not know on which characters, for which positions (e.g. pos=2, pos=5, pos=3...)
Again, not the perfect solution, but definately a much better solution, than most.
Uhm Do a Google for "Portable Firefox"... don't wast e time on maxthon, IE2, or any of those, multi-tab swiss cheese security browsers, when you can run Firefox, T-bird, etc. straight from your USB key! (you do have one, right?)

Testing... Try wrapping your links in: So, like:
Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 - Magnet Link
Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 - eDonkey 2000 Link
hope this helps
