Re: "Product makers pay..."

"...Because it costs too much - and an ARM-managed support contract would boost the price even more."

A better strategy, ARM Holdings?

Better sell a builders' solution over a virtual engine. And Consumers will be buying ARM security.

Re: Lawsuit Time Again

Basic Parental filters are part of the OS itself [because those are part of profiles]. Ecosystem know and should submit.

Good AV packages include better parental filters. Even AV Houses have to align and restrict to OS directives. I'm with MS on this one.

On the other side of the issue: Without a stabilized and frozen protocol to interact with [Internet] profiles, amounts to privileged self-access.
