Pfff. It's a push to hardware they can lock down and claim full control over so they can sell the Windows platform as secure to content providers (games, etc.) The same way Android banking apps refuse to run on rooted phones, you'll soon be unable to run a lot of apps if you don't have a TPM. Then it'll be some websites that can't be accessed...

Most of the security improvements shipping in Windows are leftovers from Xbox, but they very clearly state that Windows Security does not treat the user themselves as a threat.
