Well, don't be too harsh on M$ backers. Now it's clear Microsoft will again loose with their el cheapo low-quality crashing and, finally, rushed xbox360. Sony is going to take over again with a robust mass-market product, containing real in-house technology instead of Microsoft's tech buyout. People will buy it either because of some must-have games or blu-ray movies which will surely be available at launch. Next GTA alone is enough to sell tenths of millions of PS3's worldwide. Few good xbox car races here and there aren't going to change that. Simply Sony's franchises are too strong.
MS had time window but screw it up. Console was rushed, with only 3 games at start, limited backwards compatibility and not nearly enough units to sell to all interested buyers. When hype wears off and christmas season is over, nobody will care for teh console. Hell, it's not even replacement for original xbox!
I think palladium could be bypassed with a good rootkit. for example, movie/game rls groups could share a secret rootkit no on knows about ant constantly defy microsoft's efforts to have secure platform. With them not knowing what to patch, it seems like a good solution.
No way they're going to find it in microsoft.
