I thought that was the specialty of Windows, after all, most Windows machines don't even need a user to generate boat loads of email and other internet traffic!

Okay. This will be interesting. I wonder if any of our Apple devoutees will try to defend this one.
Does anyone remember the Evil geniuses at MS trying to control the world by creating "Palladium"? It was technology that would allow copyright protection on music and audio files. It would allow email to have an expiry date too. That sounds interesting and benign enough... right? Well it would also allow MS to prohibit any software except Word to open .doc files. AND it would allow owners of the rights to music to *reach right into your computer and delete files it says you don't own!*
Horrible bastids at MS!!! They ended up calling it an open standard (TPM) and abandoning it.
Well now the rumour is that APPLE(!!) is going to use TPM to keep us from hacking OSX out of the new Apple Intel boxes and running it on cheaper boxes from Dell etc. Remember us talking about that a few weeks ago? Jack was the first I heard mention it.
So the evil geniuses at MS aren't nearly as evil as Apple. Personally if they do this, I won't buy so much as a cord for my iPod from Apple ever again.
