"Simply locking out Linux boot isn't a good enough motive for MS. In the
face of
their tablet plans, there has got to be a more sinister plan at work."
I see no evidence of Microsoft's plan here but knowing Microsoft's past and
present as we here at Groklaw know it; I agree with you, they are up to no good.

MS is trying to get Trusted Computing again. Or, maybe "again" doesn't
apply, since they never stopped trying that...
They just want to:
1 - Be mandated on every computer;
2 - Manage the unbreakable (by force of law, not by technical virtues) DRM on
every computer, so that they'll:
2.1 - Be the sole distributor of media;
2.2 - Dictate what everybody can, and can not see (including that extorsion that
you filmed last night and wanted the police to see. Did you ask permission of MS
first?)
3 - End piracy... Ok, just kidding. TCPA won't achieve that goal.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
