Microsoft's Control-Freak "Entertainment PC" | |

| Time: 09:29 EST/14:29 GMT | News Source: Silicon Valley | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft has chosen to use its "leadership position" to work against the end users of its technology. This is not a shock. Why? In part, I think, because Microsoft's most important customers are not end users. They are the intermediaries -- the PC makers (who are little more than serfs, in truth); large companies that want to lock down employees' PCs; governments that fear the Net's power; Hollywood, which wants to turn back the clock on rights its customers have come to expect; etc. | ||
