I see that as just another hardware manufacturer limiting what people can do with their hardware. And "creating tailored products for customers with specific needs" ? Just regular old market segmentation as they've always done, to extract more profit. Don't be mistaken, thus is about money, Nvidia does not act in the interests of the end user but their own. "think of the gamers" is just a way to put their foot in the door.

It would be very suspicious of nvidia if it acted in others interests. What bugs me most is that in many win-win situations (specifically, nvidia takes more markets, I get a videocard for much less than $2500) there is a guy who proclaims freedom über alles, stretching good intentions ad absurdum.
