Right you are! My mistake on including them as an example there. I should fix that. Edit: While they're not taking the same fee (honestly, 5% is pretty great!)

Edit: While they're not taking the same fee (honestly, 5% is pretty great!), they are the original company recognized for their "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy. I'm super impressed with Microsoft's turnaround on open source, but I'm still leery of them long-term, especially if leadership changes down the road.
- patrec 6y agoHe's not right. Windows comes with "telemetry" (read spyware) you cannot disable (unless you got a corporate version). Also UEFI has not exactly been without controversy.

- my123 6y agoThat's an improved TPM/TPM successor. Those don't lock you out of anything Secure Boot wise, it's just not what they're designed for.
- BoorishBears 6y agoBy that logic T2 is also "just an improved TPM/TPM successor". It's not hard to infer the direction that MS is going with this concept.
