In addition to showing off its next-generation Longhorn operating system this week, Microsoft for the first time handed out code that underlies its closely watched Next-Generation Secure Computing Base security technology.

So is "Next Generation Secure Computing Base" something good or bad? :) I can see arguments both ways here..

I can't really say one way or the other, because I don't quite understand what it's all about. At first it seemed like a hardware-based IO chip with an instruction set that allows it to avoid buffer overflows. But then they talk about the digital rights aspect of it, so I guess that's not quite it. Anybody have a good general feel for what it does?
