Amazing claims you are making there. Claiming that the TPM will be included on "all future motherboards"; claiming that an objective is to meet the operational needs of law enforcement and intelligence; claiming that TCPA members (all 170 of them?) have more access to his computer than the owner; fantasizing about an "approved hardware list" and "serial number revocation list" which don't exist in the spec(!); further fantasies about a "list of undesirable applications" (where do you get this stuff!). On page 16, the OS is going to start the secure time counter (but TCPA has no secure time feature!); synchronize time against authenticated time servers (again, no such thing is in the spec); and download the hardware and serial number revocation lists (nothing exists like this!). I honestly don't understand how you can say this when there is nothing like it in the TCPA specification. Are you talking to insiders about a future revision? Do you know for a fact that TCPA will hae SNRL's and such in the future? Or are you just being political, trying to increase pressure on TCPA *not* to go with serial number revocation lists and the like, by falsely claiming that this is in the design already?
