Microsoft’s new security chip built on Xbox ideas

Microsoft learned a lot from its Xbox security efforts, aimed at keeping those hacking kids from getting games for free.

In fact, their new security plan is modeled after the Xbox chip, according to geekwire.com.

The new security plan is not merely software — it is a new architecture for computer processors.

Right now, security technologies exist as a separate piece of hardware in Windows PCs. The new plan, dubbed Pluto, will integrate security into the central processing unit (CPU).
