Every door has two sides, an inside and an outside. It appears that Microsoft has put themselves on the inside and have left their customers on the outside. |

Quoting:Why would mother board manufacturers include this TPM chip on their boards ?In order for computers with their chips to be certified for Windows 8, of course. |

My purchase of white-box vanilla motherboards is reinforced. |

Much has been said about Win 8 certificatiom and enabling secure boot; it's the first time there's news about this chip or I missed it. Hoax? Too big a non- sense, that can't escape international shouting. |

This topic is so funny, because the left arm doesn't know what the right arm is doing. In Der Spiegel, we can read how the NSA cooperates closely with the BND (BundersNachtichtenDienst). |

It's only "cooperation" when you can really say "no". Or if you at least think you can. |
