I guess we'll have to go back to printing every copy of "sensitive" email or documents that might be needed to protect ourselves in the future. So much for the much vaunted "paperless office".

IRM can prevent you from printing documents as well. It can even prevent screen captures. Everything will have to be copied by hand. Bic will make a killing.

screen capture by other means[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#9)

With a small digital camera you could still photograph the screen.  Assuming you can't defeat the screen capture some other way.

And with Microsofts track record on security issues, how secure do you think this "feature" will be?  The worm writers have graduated to exortion and other crimes, you know.
