M$'s plan to tie the O/S with the BIOS

Recommended Posts

Bro going to that site is like reading an article from a site called www.impeachbush.com and expecting objective journalism.

 

Palladum is in the works, and MS backs off when enough customers let them know about it

This is getting a bit old. Personally all of this is the result of Microsoft getting pushed around. All of this wouldn't even be thought of if people didn't mandate that they must change things to allow competion. Really, we should allow captialism to work and not force competion.

I agree that capatilism should be left alone for the most part, it's kind of like being a Chef, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

 

The other side of the coin however is that how do you way the public good vs. the corporate greed side of things ?!?

 

Well really you can't cause greed will always win given enough money behind it frown You have to, as a capitalist society, believe that most corporate entities are benevolent and want to be good and responsible.

 

I guess this is where the competition thing should kick in but of course if there isn't any or very little competition, this is where both the state and federal governments have stepped in to even the playing field, but this is another topic altogether wink

 

Back on-topic, if TCPA or whatever it will be called, actually gets to market then you will see a boon in the black-market for computer and other electronic equipment. At least until a hack-around is found laugh

Those are contradictory statements. If there's no competition, there's no capitalism - plain and simple.

easy soution

 

dont use windows when this crap come sout - keep your old version of windows or simply switch O/S - liekly by that time there will be a nwe flavour of O/S that people will move to.

 

the only places i can see using this type of system would be corporations.

 

 

the home user will find alternatives - or ways around it - as they ALWAYS have and will!

 

 

if it can eb made - it can be broken

 

 

look at windows attempt with XP - how long did product activation last as a secure feature? like 0 days as it was hacked to heck before the O/S was even out.
