   So it seems that an experienced company, with full control over
   the hardware and no backwards compatability problems to deal with,
   still can't create a platform for securely controlling the use and
   distribution of digital information.

   What does this say about the hopes of the "secure computing" initiatives
   for PCs?
	...

About what one would expect.

There's another historical example.  The original specifications for
Windows NT are almost exactly the same as for the still-to-come future
Microsoft platform.

AND THESE SPECS WERE IMPLEMENTED!

The problem was that the real world did not want a secure platform:
they don't solve the general real world problems.

Since the world hasn't changed that much, why should anyone expect
this entire approach to work?
