Hi Guys,
I remember reading about how Longhorn/Vista was going to have something builtin and that, as long as, CPU manufacturers went along with it, Windows would be able to have complete control over software installed, piracy-wise.
Basically, Windows figured that if software is not legit, it would not be able to install.
I also remember reading that Intel was the only CPU company that was going along with MS on this.
Does anyone remember this?
Does anyone remmber what MS was calling this initiative/program/etc?
I discussion was started about this and why Vista beta's seem to be running better on Intel chips than AMD chips. This was everyone was agreeing on. I don't think that MS would be applying this at the beta level, anyways.
Thanks in advance,
Heeter
