Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM
Slashdot,
Jul 15, 2005
Let me ask you, is there any consumer demand for monitors that don't work? I thought not. Howabout software that breaks your monitor? No? How, then, does it make sense to do this: "if Longhorn detects that your monitor is not 'secure' enough, then your premium video content won't play on it until you buy one that is. Who gets to decide? The content providers of course." Someone needs to send Bill Gates a memo to remind him who his customers are. Because I have to say - Longhorn won't find itself anywhere near any computer I use. Not if it does this.
