"The trusting (ironic this is all about Trusted Computing) side of me wants to believe this is just a spec from Microsoft to ensure their OS runs correctly on hardware platforms," said Slashdot blogger yagu. "But history, track record, and all evidence to Microsoft's tactics since forever make me nervous... "I'm quite convinced (my opinion) Microsoft's motives remain the same as always."
