Title blatently ripped from link.

And although applications must be modified to take full advantage of hyperthreading, some products--such as Windows XP Home and Professional Editions, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Media Encoder 9 Series, and Adobe Photoshop 7--are already hyperthreading-enabled.
 
I would NOT relate LaGrande to security at all because the reason for it is to stop pirating, nothing more.

It has multiple reasons. I happen to think that having your data encrypted so no one can access it will help in security. Why do you think that won't help?

sure it would help, but its the anti-piracy motives that are pushing it

Not a big deal when you think about it. Processor speeds should double every 18 months. While the leap from 2 to 4 is doubling speeds, from 4 to 5 is a minor step. If they stay on track, speeds should hit 8 Ghz by Q4 2004, 16 Ghz by Q2 2006, and so on (1 THz in 15 years! 😀). Pretty soon, single (and even double) digit GHz ratings will seem as quaint as single digit MHz ratings do now. 🙂

Then you'll feel REALLY old school talking about how your old school 486 SX 25Mhz was a speedy machine. It'll seem like a pocket calculator
