I hope anyone hasn't bought a computer recently.
Nearly all x86 (and x86_64) Motherboards supplied in the last 6-8 months have the TCP (Trusted Computing Platform) 1.1 Chip integrated on their BIOS chip, meaning Microsoft could start this soon, especially as I reviewed the Vista beta, and having a look, there was literally a TON of TCP software. Not good. And with the TCP chip being able to only run software with the proper DRM Cipher (which is encrypted by 1024-bits and can only be generated by high-priced generator tools sold by DRM and TCP manafacturer, meaning only large companies like M$ can afford them), they'll eventually enforce it so that an authorized kernel can be run, thus meaning they can lock out Linux from any TCP-based computer.
Wow, that is a lot I wrote. I need to get a life.
