<P>What they are trying to do is remove the ability for </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>>legitimate businesses to write software without paying Microsoft a </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>>royalty. Legitimate businesses cannot crack Palladium (because it's </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>>illegal, not because it's hard), so they must pay fealty to Microsoft. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Presonally I don't care what they do to legitimate buisnesses. Microsoft can go ahead and rake them over for a bunch of money and then charge for half ass support. What I care about is am I still going to be able to get my mp3's for free, among other things.
