[quote="noldrin"]Kill switches are getting more common in slaveware. With the iphone, not only does Apple get to approve what software is allowed on your phone, they can remotely turn off apps they no longer like. From what I can tell, the iphone is the greatest achievement of slaveware that we've seen yet.[/quote]

yep "just" :) enterprise - not in the sense of licensing but in the sense that it requires server hardware, so there is little sense for home/single users in using it - that is what workstation is for.
esx btw is also free to legally use given that you have proper hardware raid

I'm waiting for the Adobe Flash killswitch implemented at the behest of MPAA/RIAA (not yet, but will be in the future no doubt).

Post subject: vmware locks out their users
Apparently buried in vmware's code is something to disable their users' access to their own virtual machines.
