The Reg Strikes Again

The Register has another great article on the evils of the upcoming Palladium. This one goes deeper into the issues that I have discussed earlier: that it's essentially a ploy by Microsoft to require the use of their OS by, well, everyone.

TCPA and Palladium do not so much provide security for the user, but for the PC vendor, the software supplier, and the content industry. They do not add value for the user. Rather, they destroy it, by constraining what you can do with your PC - in order to enable application and service vendors to extract more money from you.
