OLS: Linux and trusted computing

So what you're saying is Trusted Network Connect is harmless because it's impractical. And
then you're saying that corporations will be able to make it work anyway. Contradiction!
Clearly Microsoft will maintain the list of allowed hashes, or get an impartial industry body
to do it for them. If TNC doesn't work then MS has spent many many years on this for no
purpose: they will make it work. How? By only certifying core parts of the system, which
include the anti-malware system, which does the rest. The list of allowed hashes won't be that
big anyway, because they'll require you install the latest security patch within a short
period of its being released - immediately if it's not too intrusive. And then we'll be one
big happy family, with your user-modified linux PC not able to connect to your bank, your
hardware retailers of choice, your webmail provider, and eventually the internet itself. And
of course, China will love it: total control of cyberspace, once and for all! It might even
bring them back to Microsoft, but more likely they'll grow their own.
