If Microsoft develops it, the security chip will be MUCH EASIER to break into than a hard drive. MS couldn't make a secure system to save their lives. If virus writers can get their hands on the 'master keys', it would become possible for them to write viruses and other malware which would be cryptographically undetectable. Double-plus ungood.

Microsoft's "security chip" reminds me of the Clinton administration's CLIPPER chip.
