AMD"s Opteron won"t reject unlicensed content afterall...
According to an AMD UK representative, AMD"s Opteron products will run any kind of content in the future -- contrary to the report in The Age, on which our original report, below, was based.
Part of the content in The Age failed to distinguish between comments Moorhead made and conjecture, AMD said.
AMD, in fact, claims it is the "good guy", and even though it is a member of the "trusted computing" initiative, will allow users to opt in whether to use this type of technology or not.
"There is nothing [in Hammer] that could actually prevent a user running unlicensed content," the representative from said. MM
