Yippie, this'll make underground software developers. I wonder how much these 'protection' features will hinder games. I think people will just stick with XP unless .Net shows you God daily.

I think that Microsoft should stick this chip where the sun don't shine!! Their software and it's security is poor enough. I certainly don't want a chip from them as part of my hardware. They are much too intrusive as it is now!!

U have the choice. Deinstall Windows, setup linux and wait a year. When enough people do the same, the software developers will think about it to run their games also on "non Bill Gates systems"
