I would love to see three good reasons why it can never happen.
1). The RIAA and MPAA are itching to get DRM into every computer on the planet, and the easiest way to do this is through Microsoft
2). The US government wants to see US businesses do well (ie stop piracy). This could be due to patriotism, although politics being politics I imagine backhanders probably have something to do with it too
3). M$ and the US gov endorse it enough, America will have it's own "secure network"
4). Most of the internet runs from American servers
5). To access these, people would need to upgrade to Palladium systems
6). People without Palladium would become increasing ostracised until they either a) used a Palladium system or b) stopped using computers altogether
Either way, problem solved. Everyone has to use Palladium.
Now, tell me what it is about this that is so farfetched.
