quite a direct threat on free software and open source from Microsoft...

"... Microsoft also warned today that the era of "open computing," the
free exchange of digital information that has defined the personal
computer industry, is ending.

The company is trying to influence an industry consortium called the
Trusted Computing Platform Alliance, which has been trying to create a
new standard that will build a cryptographic key system into future
personal computers.

The idea has been challenged in the past by both civil liberties and
consumer groups, who argue that it could potentially undercut privacy
and intellectual property fair-use rights..."

also mentions that the new version of Windows is codenamed 'Longhorn'..
this would presumably be a TCPA - enabled Windows?....
