so, you know about hell, too?

They may not demand, but they can determine the conditions for their content
to be stored, once it's in DRM form.  A harddrive lacking a certain key
could be easily prevented from storing content.  Many companies have been
working on this technology since the middle of the previous decade.  Much
hype, too.  It's turned out to be a MS DRM world.

And, Tom, you must have missed several recent announcements from MS and
Hollywierd.  Work continues, and "Longhorn" will be called "Vista."  What do
you think their talking about viewing?
