Will be impossible with suggestions from this forum- don't you think they're reading it?
Instead of going there with the intent to make them "squirm", why don't you try to think up some honest, technical questions. Do they plan on allowing non Microsoft Operating systems to have access to Palladium technology? The point about free/open source OS's being excluded by design was a good one- but may not be true. The portion of code that must be signed and verified may only extend to the Palladium framework. In fact, it most likely will have to be. Even Windows users modify their OS in non-Microsoft ways- I don't think they will get screwed.
Find out if they're really going for a kill here, or if they might actually have a larger userbase than their own OS in mind. I know it's hard for most /.ers to keep an open mind on this topic- but it might be a possibility, however small.
