Oracle doesn't need to be, It's not focused on consumers and unlike what happened to IBM, it's market isn't going to move to average people. It's a different world.
will be the first time an actual split might occur, where the masses finally give up on PC gaming.
First of all, the masses aren't and never have been on the PC, and second, if you like anything other than corporate controlled games, then you need a PC. I predict as games become more expensive and less interesting (unless you're interested in tech-graphics) there will be a rebirth of the PC Game. Not only are console expensive to develop for, but you can't make a game for the consoles (in their early life) with the makers approval.
I would hope they would be polite and professional. If you wouldn't, then I would have no desire to work with in, no matter what the company.
People need to grow up to be taken seriously.
Um... Wasn't that the point of "trusted computing"? Please correct me if I am wrong and I'd rather be wrong in this situation.
No, trusted computing is a way for someone that *wants* DRM to be sure that it is valid.
If you don't want DRM on the music/video/etc your create, don't add it. problem solved.
The fact that people really think that Trusted Computing would mean every single thing created would automatically have DRM is proof of the paranoia around this.
If all computers systems are using "Trusted Computing" and you can only run "DRM'ed Media"
How can you really think that it will mean NO MEDIA can be played that isn't DRM? Where are you getting that from? Please provide a link that isn't to some knee-jerk site.
I agree there might be a problem is you have come controversial media that you WANT DRM on, but are you saying these new machines will refuse to play.mp3's?
Get a grip. These kind of reactions don't help anyone out. They just paint all anti-DRM people are idiots.

You mean that printer you purchased for far below the cost to design and make it?
$100 million should be enough to buy a chair for every man, woman and child in the USA
If chairs cost 30 cents.
