well people like  this part says
"Longhorn's trusted computing mode will have to buy new hardware with a built-in security chip to reinforce the operating system's security."

is possibly  trusted computing is going to happend and  now i fear it...  i am not buying any new hardware i am not buying any motherboard with any stupid security chip... i wish had no common sense so i could go the library and pick up a book  about creating bombs because i would have used on microsoft...  i hate them and nothing going to change that

Ha! People need to be educated about everything.

Oh, and you don't need to go to a library to get good bomb making files. Download the Big Book of Mischief, I've heard it's pretty accurate. A google search will be your friend.

you know, if you don't have hardware or software that supports said trusted computing platform, then it doesn't matter.

if you run Longhorn on non TCPA hardware, then the vault isn't active. if you run a non TCPA OS on TCPA hardware, the vault isn't active.

or if you want to make a bomb just watch an episode of macgyver

But what about the fact that most likely a lot of software won't work if the TCPA isn't enabled.
