| 183162 | 2003-10-14 10:28:00 | Personally.... The world could survive on 3.4Ghz machines running Open Source for a while longer... but stopping people from using it would be another thing... :-( I said it about X-Box and the latest Audio-CD's Copy-Protection: Its only a matter of time before it gets thrown to the wind, and is no longer a problem. The more people working on getting past it, the faster it'll be put in the "Not a problem" bin :-) |

| 183164 | 2003-10-14 11:01:00 | Yea well I won't be buying into that rubbish no way. I'd also be wary about it being possible to 'disable' it, I reckon it would actually still be running secretly. As soon as they come out, start shelling out $1000's for the fastest non-TC chips, then have fun cluster-networking them up (have yet to find a decent workable guide for that though). |

Ahh.. They just wont let on that you are buying into it.. Installed WinXP SP1 or WMP 9? Read the EULA... Ive not regretted my choice to stick with Linux, and things like that just make it all the more worth while :D |

I'm just running the basic XP Pro install. Wait...nooo! Maybe they got me with DX9b! noooo! :p Well at least its not allowed to access the internet :D |

| 183169 | 2003-10-15 00:18:00 | Hopefully the backlash will stop this sort of thing. Certainly Intel will go with it and any other companies that want to stay in with Microsoft. The day I receive a Word document which I can't open for this reason, I will reply and ask them to send it to me in an "open" format. |

| 183170 | 2003-10-15 00:25:00 | Good point! Ive started using .rtf for a lot of Documents. It just means that its more compatible across the board (With my friends using MS Office 97, 2003, OpenOffice, StarOffice, ABI Word. Its usually smaller too compared to .Doc files :D It may just be that there becomes a 2nd internet of "Trusted" users, and a second one of "un-trusted" users! |
