"Secure computing" is what they call it. But what it *is* will be an OS that will only let "approved" programs run. And that can remove approval upon command from MS. For that matter, thaty can remove *files* upon command from MS (or anybody who can fake being MS)
Getting a program "approved" will require handing over the source to MS and paying to have it certified.
Add in CPU chips designed from the ground up such that you can't reverse engineer software to find out what it's actually doing, and require special hardware for creating software and you'll have MS able to control the market way too much.
