But, I'll check in once in a while to see if you change your mind.
Just to clarify: CA hasn't said they're dropping SecuROM because they've not yet decided if they're going to include it in the first place. They've mentioned that an "alternate" form of copy protection was being investigated/worked on, but no details have yet been released (nor a final decision reached on whether they'll go with SecuROM or this other system).
