Default Re: Intel quietly adds DRM to new chips - 02-06-2005

Take a look around, the consumer is more than the home user. Big businesses and Universities and Colleges use pc's too. And I haven't seen a single pc with a AMD badge on it. So why do people persist that AMD is the popular chip, when it clearly isn't. All its good for atm is games and even then this new dual core scheme brings a new aspect to programing(main stream dual processing).
Like many other technologies this will blitz by. Did you know dell wanted to control all of their pc's they built to prevent people upgrading unless they upgrade with dell, or the part is used else where. (I have seen the tech reports for the intel machines with pcie before it was launched, I don't think it went ahead though since I haven't seen any reports that suggest the parts have been 'stamped'). Thank goodness for that.
I don't have a problem when someone is good at creating patches to work around anti-piracy, but when others download it and try to sell to people as the real thing is wrong. It just looks like the main companies don't trust end-users.
