Well, I do use Incompetent Explorer but so far haven't had any problems I'm aware of. Norton seems to keep me safe. Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't think that Microsoft are a bunch of greedy incompetents.

By my understanding, a lot of DRM these days is predicated upon the ability to embed code within a protected digital content file; under Microsoft's Palladium architecture, such embedded code would be encrypted (most likely with a one-way encryption algorithm so that companies could encrypt code that would run on others' machines without being able to decrypt others' code). Does anyone know if this is how things would work?

If so, can anyone spell "virus heaven"?
