Fortunately we are responsible scientists and won't breathe a word of this until we've rigorously tested it. And maybe not even then, because imagine the weapons possibilities of time travel.
Even if this were the case, do you think it would actually work? I mean, we all know linux, at least in the server environment, is on it's way to becoming a standard. As for the desktop, there are dozens of developers who are working on getting in on that market...
According to the original article on MSNBC, "As now envisioned, Palladium will ship "in a future version of Windows." (Perhaps in the next big revision, due around 2004.)" So, given the track record MS has with releasing OSes, we can probably expect to *just* see this in what? 2005? 2006? Then we're going to have to wait at least one or two revisions for the masses to use like it was 'intended'.
Do you really think Linux won't be a viable option for your grandfather's desktop in 4 years?
Okay, how many times have we proven that if they build it, someone's going to hack it? The only way for this to work is if Windows was the only OS out there and this Palladium thing is the only whatever-you-want-to-call-it box out there. We all know that that is not only NOT the case, but it will never be.

Uh. You're on slashdot. You know this right?
Well then, it wouldn't be 'pirating' if it were free, would it?
