Oh I remember the Intel Pro as well (Ive been computing since the old TRS-80 days) MagiK the problem is that its not just MS this time. Its MS, Intel, AMD to name a few and most importantly the RIAA behind this and they have ALOT of support in congress. And its not at the software level its at the hardware level. If the RIAA pushes a fine on non- compliant hardware manufactures (like they did with CD-Burners and scanners) the hardware makers will say WTH and start adding the chips into the hardware and then it will be a done deal.

Its alot more complicated than that but I think you can see my point.
