MS to Add DRM to Office Files -- 5:39 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Isn't this just the day for good news? According to news.com.org.info.tv, Microsoft is planning on adding digital rights management to files produced by Office. While they argue that people have been asking for this to protect sensitive data (obviously, they don't know about PGP), the greater reason might be to force current Office owners to upgrade and lock out what competition is left. Actually, this might not be a bad thing. It might force Office users to consider an alternative. Thanks Slashdot.
