paladin initiative was the name for vista to curb modification and or making copies of there o/s and was planned to implement supscription based software. Another words used to turn the o/s and other software to subscription based rather than hard copy right now they are in the phase to get everyone use to downloading and relaying on the automatic updates so when they do switch no one will notice or care when it happens. Remember they do wrie real tight code or can! Apollo 11 software fit on a floppy disk!. And the software for the shuttle is pretty close to that.
