Interesting Q&A paper and list comments. Three additional comments: 1. DRM and privacy look like apple and speedboats. Privacy includes the option of not telling, which DRM does not have. 2. Palladium looks like just another vaporware from Microsoft, to preempt a market like when MS promised Windows and killed IBM's OS/2 in the process. 3. Embedding keys in mass-produced chips has great sales potential. Now we may have to upgrade processors also because the key is compromised ;-) Cheers, Ed Gerck PS: We would be much better off with OS/2, IMO. Ross Anderson wrote:
