oh, and it's not a concept. intel started lubing us up for with the p3. it wasn't well recieved, but microsoft is in on it now. hailstorm (think, hotmail) will help, the doosy is media player. media _has_ digital `rights' management (I got news for them - you ain't got many rights, and making copies of old stones songs isn't one of them). if you rip a cd with it you can't take that wma file to another computer. ms is also unvailing pavillion, which I'm sure will be woven into .net. intel has specs for a chip that will essentially kill your ability to download random crap from the internet to view media, as well as keep you from developing media viewer programs yourself. sometimes I think I should perform more intellectual theft as a form of civil disobedience.
