heh... it's some truly scary shit.

the ability for them to have complete control over your computer under the guise of "enhanced security".

part of it is which they can disable a system, or any number of systems remotely. this could include an entire country that another country is at war with.

the new system is even built to destroy your files - if they think they're violating a copyright (ripped one of your cds for your own enjoyment? oops - deleted!).

it's also designed so that non-tcg software won't be able to play with tcg software. it vastly opens the door to subscription services (such as .net), and provides much better anti-hacker/piracy options. didn't pay your bill this month? no more software.

it's still in the proposal stages - but they're proposed implementations starting with palladium (ETA 2005).
