Yea!  And that was something I failed to mention, my bad.  But what 
will still be wrong equation is it will be a crime (by that point) to 
turn off digital copyright protection so now everyone who wants to run 
an alternative OS to M$ will become a criminal.  That's wrong.

Then what about sending e-mail?  If the e-mail comes from an 
application that was not been blessed by Microsoft will a Microsoft  OS 
(and signed software) open the e-mail?  Under the Palladium I don't 
think the MS machines will open the e-mail - unless it's hacked with a 
bogus "signature" which makes you even more of a criminal.

Yes, this is OT... was OT.  I guess I just needed to vent.
