DRM in OSX86?

Der erste 'Fund' in der umherschwirrenden OSX86-Version: "We've discovered that Rosetta uses TCPA/TPM DRM. Some parts of the GUI like ATSServer are still not native to x86 - meaning that Rosetta is required by the GUI, which in turn requires TPM." Cory kommentiert bereits heftig bei Boing Boing: "What this means is that "open formats" is no longer meaningful. An application can write documents in "open formats" but use Trusted Computing to prevent competing applications from reading them. Apple may never implement this in their own apps (though I'll be shocked silly if it isn't used in iTunes and the DVD player), but Trusted Computing in the kernel is like a rifle on the mantelpiece: if it's present in act one, it'll go off by act three." Derartige Aufregung ist mit Vorsicht zu genießen, die DRM-Entdeckung bleibt schwammig und wie künftige Nicht-Entwickler-Versionen aussehen, was sowieso niemand ausser Apple selbst.
