Firstly it doesn't matter if ms release the source code this is also being implemeted in the HARDWARE are you going to recode the hardware??. Some ppl have put comments down saying that this will be good for linux?? ye sure - this will be only only implemented in commercial OS's Apple and palm , so you may say "big deal" well what if the next gen "CD" will only play in windows and apple comp?? ohh yes that can and will happen if ms have there way, remmeber DVD'S. We all know ms code is notorious for being hole filled imagine if an exploit is discovered that gives a hacker full SYSTEM privelges this will give them MORE power then now . They could use the personsnal info in "the man" and could spoof being you!.All the old hardware will soon be outdates and useless because it may not funcuion properly with the new DRM hardware.This is the SSSCA!!!! cant you all see this!!! . Its just being implemented by Ms INSTEAD of the Gov , but it's the same thing , except Ms has full control of it what will go in it , what will play what they want , even the internet could be censored!!.Its so vague , its so scary , wake up you computer will truly belong to ms and not you when this is implemented.
Why has the parent poster been slashed down to 0 (pissing off ammerican audience). I dont want to flame but an american did not invent the tv "Philo Farnsworth"-who?? im sorry but ill bet he was american , he did not invent the tv John Logie Baird as stated above was the inventor he was working in Dublin ( Ireland ) at the time i believe , just like americans didnt invent the Computer , no the English didnt either , a German beat them all to it just before the begining of WW11 ( google for zuze computer not suse !!).The jet fighter was the English , who were gracious enough to lend there jet tech to America , so they could share there knowledge . No Hope , the english were denied all American tech and the Americans built on the English's work.USSR was first in eveything in space EXCEPET to the moon
the are building the ISS with American money ( with MIR they have a lot of exeprience ), that the only thing that prevented them from getting there first , money . Nothing againts America I still think its a great country but not everything is invented in america!.ill be moded as offtopic i presume , who cares , what i said is still true.
what i dont understand is why we cant ( people who are worried about the take over of the net my companies , OSS people , coders who fear the goobling
up of the net ) cant make these standards themselfs
like Linux the community itself making them available to W3C.It really depresses me to think that
we have no choice. Is it possible or is it to big of a project? i dont know but i dont want the net to be owned......
