It's not my hardware company. No affiliation with them. I am not hurt; just annoyed because you proclaimed, "I trust this much less". This is precisely the goal of these projects. i.e., To reduce the trusted computing base. And the company is a fairly small part of the puzzle here. A lot of man hours have gone in building and reverse engineering various parts of the stack. Your statement is roughly similar to "I trust this much less" if it had been made sometime in the 90s on the linux announcement thread.
