I am well aware of the miscelleaneous bits of spyware in Windows XP. Some people find it intolerable already. But for me the breaking point comes when I say "Show me the bits" and my PC says "Sorry, you are not authorized to see bits on a hard drive you own." THAT is what Palldium enables.

When that happens, you will no longer be able to tell what spyware lurks in your PC. You will no longer be allowed to decide how intrusive content providers, government, etc. can be in your PC. Unless, of course, you use an open source OS.

I use spybot myself.
