AMD, Intel and ALI all will support Palladium, yes...but Intel's will be directly built into the CPU while AMD's and ALI's will be only chipset support. With the AMD platform one can indeed avoid Palladium altogether with a VIA, SIS or Nvidia chipset...ones which will have no such support for Palladium.
"This installation ID previously consisted of product ID and hardware hash, so the addition of the product key takes the components to three. The major impact of this change is that Microsoft can now check a product key "to determine its validity," which perhaps means that Microsoft does have a list of valid keys of some sort, and that key generation software will cease to function. If however Microsoft does not have such a list for products already shipped, it most certainly will have in the future. Failing that, the change at least gives Microsoft a mechanism for swiftly cracking down on new leaked keys. "
The context centers on authentication, something not included in the corporate version...tampering with those keys, other than the ones already widely circulated, would be very messy, invalidly freezing many customers' systems. I really don't see them touching that hornets' nest.
I'm speaking of their attitude, not their product.
The Mac OS IS far superior to anything from M$, but its only for their hardware.
Great OS - one step forward.
Proprietary hardware - two steps back.
When Jobs & Co port the OS to other platforms they may not need M$'s money to keep them afloat.
Just cut govt funding for stuff like this.
If the Constitution doesn't name it as something to spend money on, don't!
That would eliminate 90% of the federal budget, and put it where it should be.
While current law prevents most public institutions from engaging in censorship, does it mandate that schools and libraries provide kids the tools with which to engage in perversion when their parents have entrusted them to said institutions? No. If the law forbids such filtering (yes I know its quality is rather dubious) then just "unplug" those institutions.
In a school without a computer for the students use, REAL education might take place. Home use of the net is commonplace and even without it kids
have learned to read and write.
The Constitution guarantees the right to free speech, but does not guarantee that you be provided an audience or a medium at taxpayer expense. In otherwords the government can't censor what is on the net, but it also doesn't have to make the net available in a public place, at all.
The government which governs least, governs best!
Fear the government that fears your gun!
Just shift all the spam to Ebay or to Hotmail.
All that is needed is another email address and then you can change your Ebay account to send mail to the new email address, and from there forward back to Ebay.

Just something to think about.
