I thought MS was significantly embarrassed by how easily the xbox was being hacked. The specs here, in large part, seem addressed at closing down those very hacks.

Yeah, wonderful theory -- specs for PC hardware that can be trusted by "premium content providers", to implement a "Secure PC" patented 5 years ago, are addressed at closing down a game box "hack". I wonder how Mr. Gutmann missed such an obvious relationship and wasted all that writing about Vista.
