"New PCs Likely to Cede Some Control Sun Nov 3, 1:58 PM ET By MATTHEW FORDAHL, AP Technology Writer SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - To thwart hackers and foster online commerce, the next generation of computers will almost certainly cede some control to software firms, Hollywood and other outsiders. That could break a long-standing tenet of computing: that PC owners ultimately control data on their own machines. Microsoft calls its technology "Palladium." Intel dubs it "LaGrande."

Has anybody on the list seen any official specs, datasheets, etc. for Intel's LaGrande feature set? Any documents that could be donated to Cryptome's collection? So far, all I have been able to locate are vague press releases, marketing blather, and wild-eyed promises of hack-proofing computers. TIA, --Lucky
