Trusted Computing

Here is a very nice and professionally created narrated three minutes video about Trusted Computing:

End users don't want to use a computer that they have less control over which can limit what they can do with it.

Not sure if you have even asked a question here. What exactly do you want to know?

How things are said to work and how they work are two different things. I do not see a threat, but then I only operate business apps and don't use bit torrents or other p2p programs, if you get my drift. lol

TC is a lot bigger than that and does have positve impacts on computing, like MS's file locker (or bit locker, whatever it is called). So from a security standpoint, there can be great uses for the technology.

I think it is something to watch far as how companies/government use the technology.

That video does not provide enough information to really understand what TC is and what it does.

I agree with the post above, your poll is not really a poll what are you really asking??? If you did not have so many posts I would say it was spam. lol...

Well the point is that the technology was created with the idea to give users a choice and to protect them. But it seems that it will be and is going to be implemented in a way to take this right od choice away from them, i.e. it will be implemented in a way that it is not that important to protect users, but to protect the vendors and lobbies who are taking advantage of them. For example, if this chip is being impemented at the hardware level, how come there is no jumper on the motherboard to disable it?
