It's really sad what happened to the TPM! After all the initial uproar the TPM was designed to not be able to enforce anything. It just sits there passively measuring e.g. your boot loader and BIOS and it only unlocks the secret key to your fully encrypted harddrive if the boot loader is untampered. Great technology! But everyone hates the TPM and it is not in every motherboard nowadays, although it would be great for Bitlocker! But what we got anyway was the Trusted Media path in the Windows kernel, so that only trusted audio drivers could play DRM content. But now with Windows 8 everything is bad and nobody gives a sh*t, after being brainwashed to accept the Apple appstore: We now have the worst enforcement technology: Secure UEFI and locked down hardware which can't even run Linux out of the box! And nobody is protesting against it! It has nothing good (like the TPM did: TPM could store certificates and other secrets and sign data etc.) and only bad things: It enforces what you run. And I bet Microsoft wants this to enforce that no sideloading can happen. So in the future when the Windows desktop is gone a mandatory Windows Defender will delete all your illegal unwanted software and you can only buy through the Windows store and never ever load kernel drives which patch away stupid restrictions in your software. No more games to be conserved in MOMA I guess...
