Slashdot reports: "Several people have discovered that the new Intel kernel Apple has included with the Developer Kit DVD uses TCPA/TPM DRM. More specifically, it includes "a TCPA/Palladium implementation that uses a Infineon 1.1 chip which will prevent certain parts of the OS from working unless authorized."

there are millions of windows users (and some mac users) who are aware of linux/bsd and are in one way or another fed up with microsoft, and some with Mac.
.... many of these users will jump ship to linux/bsd when they realize all freedom in the mainstream is lost
when they cannot play their mp3's and their avi/mpg/divx movies.... they will go to a platform where they can play them, where they have freedom, where some corporation is not controlling and or gov't isn't telling them what to do with their software.
... i'm not a linux/oss zealout but....i hope this happens for one reason..... to show the world DRM cannot work,..... it is my hope for freedom
i prefer to be innocent till proven guilty.... not vice-versa.
