Actually, I'm glad they're doing it. This way, some pirate geek will come up
with a easy, secure solution that will be free (and I mean "free" in
both senses of the word) and won't contain bloatware or stuff that tracks you
and phones home. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I've got two games installed on my PC at home that use the
Bittorrent protocol for downloading updates, in order to
reduce the load on the companies servers and provide a higher
level of service to a very large number of customers.
Will they be "collateral damage" in this? Or will this new
tool magically allow BT connections to select partners?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You know, Linux might not exist without web downloading? Any
connection? With them forcing some Android phone folks to
take a license for LINUX, then what does that mean overall
for their effort to stop "illegal infringing downloading"?
Is MS praying again for the old "shrink wrap" days?
Or, just flexing it's dollar muscles where it is funding, or
using a proxy, but not actually "doing it themselves"? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
