Considering Boieng's history I don't think this will be used for anything other then defense. This could be a breakthrough in defense and the way we handle defense. Soon missiles may not be used at all and prevent terrorist attacks.

Submission + - Windows 7 update will target piracy
catd77 writes: To combat Windows 7 piracy Microsoft will release an update in the coming weeks.

But, apparently all your "important data" will be safe from prying eyes, and will be saved even if you have a pirated copy of Windows 7. A notification will appear to alert you of how you can fix it.
