Re: Trustworthy Computing Mini-Poll

[Peter van den Heuvel <peter () bank-connect com>]

The entire idea of course is to steal the authority over the computer 
away from the owner. Added security will not be part of that game as 
long as M$ and the likes are the one that deliver and actually control 
the software onto it. They get extreme rights on a "segment" of your own 
computer where not even you can stop them from doing whatever they want. 
Like more and more software already is doing quite uninhibited we will 
see a further increasse in shameless commercial promotion and 
exploitation of the user. If I look at the limited amount of controll I 
am currently having on the numerous new M$ OS's and software like "free" 
Oprah, RealPlayer, etc. I am getting a clear picture of where this is 
leading. There's also free bandwidth, disk-space and CPU cycles that 
they would like top get their hands on. Call me paranoid, but I think 
that this thing is leading to bloody desaster.
