being implemented as Windows "next-generation secure computing base" (Carroll et al, 2003) with an "evolutionary" (Carroll et al, 2003) features composition readily combinable with a new hardware and applications, providing
groups and individuals alike with the ability to obtain the three aforementioned objectives. Furthermore, enterprise clientele will gain even greater benefits from Palladium that address specific issues with content
protection and network security. Still, the technology is a long way off until it reaches the masses. "Palladium is a long-term endeavor. The first Palladium-enhanced personal computers
will not appear on the market for several years, and Microsoft does not foresee widespread adoption for some years after the introduction. However, now is the time to begin
planning and working on - Palladium (Carroll et al, 2003). II. PALLADIUM AND PRIVACY John Q. Newmans Identity Theft: The Cybercrime of the Millennium clearly illustrates the

by which to offset the downward spiral of lost privacy and security in a global society that has become inextricably connected with personal computing. Compatibility has long been an
issue directly related to system trustworthiness, with critics contending that leaving behind this ongoing quest for compatibility - along with several other troublesome features - may have solved the problem
of system size, speed and integrity. However, others argue how personal computer users "required the preservation of investments in software, hardware and user training that came with backward compatibility"
