Badluck writes "Microsoft and the entertainment industry's holy grail
of controlling copyright through the motherboard has moved a step
closer with Intel Corp. now embedding [1]digital rights management
within in its latest dual-core processor Pentium D and accompanying
945 chipset. Officially launched worldwide on the May 26, the new
offerings come [2]DRM -enabled and will, at least in theory, allow
copyright holders to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of
copyrighted materials from the motherboard rather than through the
operating system as is currently the case..." [3]The Inquirer has the
story as well.
