Apple to copy Windows DRM

[aryayush]

1. It's a patent. Apple patents five million ideas every twenty-five seconds. Only two of them see the light of day. Who's to say that this will actually come true?

2. Mac OS X for non-Apple hardware is not happening. At least not till the day Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of the company. So throw those hopes in a wastebasket somewhere.

3. I'm pretty sure that even if they are thinking of implementing some sort of anti-piracy mechanism, it will only be to prevent illegal installation of the operating system on PCs.

Apple already has TPM for this which has been broken by Hackers

^^ not anymore. Now there's only one version of each song. Even if it doesn't have DRM, it costs the same $1.
