Surely MS doesn't think that all PC manufacturers will stop making "open" pc's when / if Palladium comes to market.

And surely MS doesn't think that THEY will have the authority to decide what code will be allowed to run on every desktop that is made.

And surely nobody with a lick of security sense believes that signing software eliminates the coding errors in that software.

The more contempt MS shows for their customers, the better. By completely alienating their customers, they create a phenomenal opportunity for others, more worthy, to come in and serve those customers. Apple, RedHat, Lindows, take note! You have a few years to get ready. Don't waste them.
