The chip decides. Not the software. That makes it 'trusted'.

Shit.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New But the software has to talk to the chip, right?
This does assume, of course, that the TPM mojo is put into the compiler and not some library somewhere.

My opinion on this is split. On the one hand, TPM is evil and nasty and whatnot. On the other, Apple and MS have a right to exist and to sell whatever products they like on the basis that if you don't like them, you're free not to buy them.

TPM is unlikely to be a sufficiently strong disincentive to stop me buying a new Intel Mac at the end of this year - especially given Apple's nature as a hardware, not software company.
