Not you, that's for sure. The entire "trusted computing" idea is based on mistrust established companies and organizations have for their "customers'.

I can't believe MS is able to specify that ARM devices must require that the 'secure loader' facilities be hardcoded and not bypassable by the owner of the device.

Astounding.

Another clue for folks that microsoft really is evil.
