Ew. Why are all the chip manufacturers going along with this stupid plan? I want to buy a processor and then own it and have it work in my best interests, not consume electricity and generatie heat enforcing draconian 3rd party DRM policies.

It's tragic (especially if you care about general-purpose computing and the future of open platforms), and a sign that Microsoft's Palladium project was never really canceled. Boil the frog...

Of course, Microsoft would say it's not about DRM (at least right now), it's for "security." Which... its secure as Microsoft's servers are, to be sure.
