No shit? This is moronic. But then it reflects the impaired cognitive abilities
of corpdrones in mintel.
I pay for the "computer", and then all these corporations start downloading
shit to my "computer" in order to make it safe for me to use it, right ? I am
lay person and need to trust these people, as I am clueless about stuff they
download. But their web page says it's good.
This all happens *after* I buy the computer.
So, to recap, I pay several $K for the "computer" and then have to customize it
so that it becomes "safe". The computer, as malladium authenticates the
computer.
Why do I want $3,000 authentication token ?
No, mintel making money is not the right answer. Try again.
