[olug] What if USB no longer worked on Mac's or Linux?

Hey, It could happen.   And it doesn't seem all that farfetched to me as a 
business strategy.  Read I, Cringley's column.

This gives MS a great opp0rtunity.  I'll impersonate Steve Ballmer for a 
minute. "You've been bashing us for years because we were not secure enough.  
We've listened to what you've said.  We value security so highly that we want 
to make sure only devices that we've approved work with our new secure OS."

Sure sounds good, unless you're on the outside.
