Digital Rights Management. A technique that may be used for good and evil. Good thing, untrusted contents and virii might not even run. Bad thing, it might stop you from running a program or playing a song on your computer. MS is probably going for the media content first. It can make a boatload of money and goodwill from the RIAA. I'm seeing it as mostly bad because it might stop you from doing perfectly legal things just because *someone* doesn't want you to be able to. The guilty until proven innocent spiel. And it probably won't be cheap to register as a trusted source. Making major buisness interests unfairly competitive. But it's anyones choice. Safe in jail or free in the woods. MvH Dan Andersson
