: : Hacking doesnt work:

: : there will are too many protect layers in the OS-TCPA (using SHA-1, HMAC, RNG, RSA 2048bits criptography, 3DES and AES).

: : Note: 2048bits RSA protection, the current bits used for passwords everywhere are 64bits or sometimes 128bits

: i still don't think this will eventuate. I mean, i can't see microsoft issuing licences to linux, unix, freebsd, not to mention freeware programs. I also do think that this will (IF it happens) be hacked. basically because of microsofts apalling coding standards. I mean, look at the number of bugs in windows 9x, if they keep this level of workmanship up, i doubt this will work as well as it is being advertised.

: also, what incentive is thee for the hardware manufacturers? cash? i doubt it. i think, if i were a motherboard manufacturer dude, I'd rather have the sales of the open source community than a payout from mcrosoft. (then again, maybe I'm just biased)

: anyway, what a crok of s**t.

If this starts working, and I mean, working, as that I can't use any software without buying it ( ), then I'll change to some open source OS with free software and stuff instead... hopefully I won't have to.. cause I have started to like Windows, ever since XP came.
