I hear there will be this new law that says everyone who uses Intel or AMD processors must also purchase Windows Vista in order to legally use them even if they aren't gonna install it and opt for, say Linux. Can anyone link me to where I can find more info on this?

so much bs in this thread,
FPGA's-wtf? lol , most current CPUs are actually DRM free,only 3 motherboards are TPM enabled(made by Intel) and they are advertised in fuckling bold letters as TPM,actually their description boasts a lot with it.. not to mention they implement specs v1.1 which isnt accepted by Vista,so currently there arent any 100% vista drm solutions,there might be some in the future.. current TPM was used for good only (to provide data integrity verification on server platforms),but if they get the bs chips in general purpose mobo's then it would open too much room for DRM,and outweight the advantages provided by it by too much,yea people boycott these fuckers,even if both MS,Intel and AMD are supporting them(currently TPM is built in the mobo not CPU,but they might move it inside CPU in the future)
