More crap about Palladium. Like I said in another post: Palladium REQUIRES a piece of hardware to run. Without that, it won't work.

Websites can say anything. They can put as much crap on their site as they want on their site just to give a company a bad reputation. That's just like those stupid newspapers, like Weekly World News or any clones of those. i saw one the day before that says that Jonbenet Ramsey (sp?) was killed by Santa. Everyone knows that's just bull . The same thing goes for websites. You can't trust everything you read.

Here's a link showing some information on Palladium (and if you don't trust PC World, you suck):

.  Like I said in another post: Palladium REQUIRES a piece of hardware to run.  Without that, it won't work.

Your point IS? Makes no difference, the hardware will be implemented in the new mobos, as Intel, AMD and microsoft are working together to implement this by the time longhorn is finalized, Sooooooo, what happens then? There will be two choices for people to make, either get a mobo WITHOUT the architecture necessary for longhorn to run ,(which will shut out those who chose to, and at which point eventually will be forced to get longhorn ANYWAY, as is always the case cause they don't make it backward compatible) or to get the mobo WITH the support for longhorn,in which case you're screwed anyway.

P.S. the link you posted goes on to explain exactly what i am talking about, it also has a link for those who oppose what microsoft is doing, http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,...d,105215,00.asp ,and err, magazines get paid as well, by the corporate conglomerates such as microsoft, intel etc. so no difference, regarding what you read on a web site or in a magazine.

Are you subliminally saying that you want people to STOP using Windows? If so, are you subliminally trying to get people to use MAC or LINUX instead? Cause the point you're trying to get across is that Windows is bad.

You know that you can't make a decision for someone, right? Even though you say that Windows is bad and have many sources, that doesn't mean that you can force people to stop using Windows. That's like a person saying that it's the end of the world and have different sources to support that statement. Should people believe that? How do they know if the information is miscalculated or fake?

MS did say that they will include Palladium, but goals they are going for is compatability. If they want everyone to upgrade to/use Longhorn, they would want to lighten the requirements so that everyone has a chance to use it. A person with a top-of-the-line PC would want to upgrade to Longhorn, but just because they don't have the hardware, they can't do that...

(Too lazy to continue Someone help me out)

Bill Bill Bill what the hell are u doing ???

[fallenknight308]

There will be a time when even using a comp will violate even your most basic privacys!
Why the hell do we need longhorn anyway?!!
Too many people here seem to put an emphasis on the acquisition of the "latest and greatest" things
Fuck microsoft, use any damm os you want, if they take away hardware compatability: use older hardware!
You don't have to own the "best computer" if it violates a basic human right: FREEDOM!

LONGHORN SUCKS

I read that post again and think this is a big part of the beginning of what will eventually become a one world goverment.
I know your gonna say I&#39;m paranoid and this is probably not the place to make this kind of comment.
But I believe the book of revelation.
If you believe it too then one must also believe that the computer will play a big role.

God huh?

There is no God and no Devil, Humans are responsible for there own actions, if we fuck up this Planet then no one will save us.

Whats wrong with One world Government?
It&#39;s Far better than Countries fighting agaist each other, we are all humans, on one planet what better than Humanity united for once.

Anyway back on topic Stuff Microsoft if this is true, i wont be buying , oh i mean downloading Longhorn&#33; [/b][/quote]
So tell me.....
How&#39;s atheism working out for you?&#33;

There IS a God AND there IS a Devil. God created us to make our own decisions. It&#39;s called free will.

@Kokanee: Support your statement that Longhorn sucks. If you used it, good for you. It&#39;s an Alpha, so it&#39;t supposed to be crap right now. If you&#39;re talking about Palladium that could be why it sucks.
