Microsoft does it again
If they do this I really am moving to Linux:
New Scientist - 29 June:
"Microsoft says it will attempt to toughen up it's PC operating systems in response to criticism that they aren't secure enough.
Versions of Windows from 2004 will run only authenticated programs, to keep out viruses. The system will use encryption to safeguard data, but critics are concerned about the level of control this will give copyright holders such as film studios"
Right, not to Microsoft! Who will decide what is good enough? Who provides authentication? How much does it cost? Will it be by program or individual copy (i.e. MS copy registration).
They don't give up, do they.
