That’s a good question. But probably not.

Then I still don’t want it. Along with the fact that it doesn’t seem to offer anything like enough new stuff to justify the processor and memory load, I refuse in principle to buy stuff from people who think they should be able to police my actions and have me pay for it. I have no desire to steal anyone’s IP (and I don’t), but if I pay for something, the seller has a duty to act in my interests, not those of some third party, especially if doing so imposes a further cost (decreased performance at a given hardware level) on me. To do otherwise is to make me pay money in the interest of the RIAA against my will.
