More fuzzy DRM promotion. I'm surprised that MSFT, which got started making sense out of real-world user demands, is falling for sky-based pie solutions for the enterprise on this "technology".

How to sell DRM:

1. Describe anything bad that happens on or because of a computer.

2. Say that you're writing MAGIC SOFTWARE that would prevent that thing without breaking anything else.

3. Call the MAGIC SOFTWARE "DRM".

4. When a real-world DRM system messes up someone's computer, or a legit activity the person wanted to do, return to step 1.
