Bah, security software, like all other "encryption" made so far it'll most likely be broken in less than three months by a group of dedicated hackers. I have no worries whatsoever about this.

I also can't see why everyone worries so much about MS having a virtual monopoly on the O/S market. Can you imagine what it'd be like to have 7 or 8 O/S's out there? Half of the games wouldn't work on half of the O/S's, and the other half of the games would only work on the half of the O/S's that the first half of the games didn't work on.

Oh, and imagine the many bugs that would be spawned by having to adapt a game to more than one O/S. Personally I'm thankful that MS has pretty much full control over things, it isn't causing me any discomfort. [img]smile.gif[/img]
