swifty11212 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 im just wondering, with the introduction such evil, will it impact the overclocking community? this has me wondering, and i hear that there are plans on making "old" computers unable to use the internet while only computers with the TCG *bs* chip can access it. and yes i posted in the right section since this seems to only affect microsoft's os (perhaps apple) but certainly not linux. edit: just read this site, intertesting read (if not posted already) http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html edit 2: title should have the question as "will it affect all aspects of computing?"

SMeeD Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 If this ever happened the only thing I would use windows for is games. DRM is the first step! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 If this ever happened the only thing I would use windows for is games. DRM is the first step! digital restriction management sure does suck and yes, i think its time that i become fluent in linux like how i am in windows so i can handle it if it does happen, if i want to use linux on a prebuilt, i should be able to and not be restricted from doing so...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Don't pirate on Windows and only use it for games and you're safe. EDIT: I read the first couple paragraphs, and it sounds quite a bit like, GASP, OVERHYPED PROPAGANDA! When it happens to the degree they're expecting I'll believe it. Otherwise, it sounds like GNU is trying to get more support for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sYstEmATiC Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 lol surprised noone has mentioned the fact that if it even happens...linux will become HUGE and it will KILL ms's income. i mean honestly, who around here will buy another ms product if that happens?

Hyper Threaded Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I couldn't fathom the idea of my computer being controlled by corporate giants. Perhaps it's finally time, for me to learn Linux. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
