I have to say I find the remarks attributed to Ross suspicious. I'd like to see an original source for these since they sound fishy.

UK holds Microsoft security talks (BBC) Posted Feb 15, 2006 16:02 UTC (Wed) by nigelm (subscriber, #622) [Link] To follow this up, the meeting appears to be Session 2005-06 / PN No. 30 - TERRORISM DETENTION POWERS which was held on Tuesday 14 February 2006 at 10.15 a.m. It appears to take ages to get minutes - and those can be rather sparse

Listen to the recording (interesting bit is about an hour or so in).
The police (or the government) want to be able to hold a suspect 90 days (rather than 14 or 28) before charging them. They are using "increasing difficulty of decrypting seized hard drives" as one argument to support this. Ross claimed decryption is easy or impossible, so doesn't come into the argument. But he pointed out that under TPM things will get even harder unless the home office talk to microsoft *and* intel, "NOW rather than when the product ships".
Shame the BBC didn't give Ross' entire quote on the reasons for [microsoft's] introduction of this technology:
