Without prejudice

I do not dispute your counterpoint. Microsoft could give any fanciful reason they wish for doing whatever they choose to do with their operating systems. It matters not. My point is that when they start messing with my hardware, including the UEFI on my system board that is my property to the extent that it interferes with my ability to run "OTHER OS" without having to toggle, toggle, toggle... This is unethical. It is a needless bother. Furthermore TPM has been around for a decade and continually has problems. Microsoft and the rest need to find a better approach to the security that they claim to offer outside of TPM and offer an approach that isn't so invasive. IMO TPM has failed the acid test and the only reason the Consortium keeps pushing it on people is because they have so much invested in it. These aggressive steps to secure systems from outside threats closely resemble patented malware that is only a couple of steps away from the end user relinquishing ownership of the hardware they paid for. When you cannot tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" what difference does it make? TPM might as well be a root kit. It is said that those who give up liberty for security deserve neither. As an end user I like to keep my options open.
