| 180727 | 2003-10-06 03:56:00 | They've done it again. Proposed to eventually single our computing choices down to one company. Them. I read in this months PC World that they are proposing to Intel and AMD that they make chips that run only microsoft and microsoft certified program. Can they get around another monopolising charge for this? I mean this would seriously suck. But is it possible. It would mean no more LINUX. And you would have to be severely strict, no mods for messenger. No KaZaA or DC. Surely there would be an uproar in the non MS and modder communities. This is a scary thought. I don't want MS spying on me. What if I want to look up pornography or learn how to grow dope. Even learn how to crack a program. What if I don't want to insert my CD every time I want to play a game. Ahh maybe that privacy article just got me paranoid. Please someone tell me I'm wrong. And I suggest you get a copy of this months PC World to read if you haven't already. Very interesting. :-( :_( |

| 180728 | 2003-10-06 04:20:00 | what are you talking about? This could well be the best thing ever to happen to computers! Linux would be alive (Linux for PPC processors) And everyone would be forced to turn to Apples, and microsoft would die, and the computing world would be cleansed of most of their evil! |

| 180731 | 2003-10-06 04:34:00 | I haven't read the article concerned, but is it "Trusted Computing"? Sounds a bit like it to me. You see if its not Microsoft you can't trust it. Microsoft will only allow their stuff to run on your machine (which is extremely nice of them) but you will have to pay, pay and then pay some more for the privilege. So sit back and enjoy the ride. No more virus'es, illegally copied software, games, cd's, dvd's. The world will be a much better place :D | Dolby Digital (160) | ||

| 180733 | 2003-10-06 10:02:00 | Nobody will buy into that crap. The palladium morons (Microsoft, AMD and Intel) will all die, and everyone will be either running older chips or they'll switch over to mac. So yeah kinda good, it'll kill off MS. :) | PoWa (203) | ||

| 180736 | 2003-10-07 05:33:00 | But people said they'd never agree to let MS download software without them knowing.. Who actually read the EULA of Win2K SP4, or Windows Media Player 9? If you havent, I suggest you go do so as there is a part that covers them doing that! People will never agree... or people wont know they're agreeing?! |
