Trusted Computing is generally associated with Microsoft, and, as of a short time ago, now Apple as well. On the other hand, little time is spent on the idea of integrating Trusted Platform Module support deep into GNU/Linux and other Free Software desktops. Maybe it is time for that to change.

they are indeed ugly tools, ugly tools from an ugly technology.
there is one thing I cannot stand in the IT world, and it really grates me is this...
someone invents an excellent format, like MP3 for example, and everyone uses it....
then some greedy slime thinks "how can this make money for me?"
it is that sliming off other peoples work that I really hate, and it was one of the reasons I switched from Windows.
Why should my money make some other bloke richer, granted, if he actually deserved it through his own deeds, then no problem, but stealing/coercing/coniving other peoples work is just not on.
now, this article is on a "linux" website, but if you actually look at the content of the rest of the site, you have to wonder what the hidden agenda of the guy actually is.
DRM would not survive in linux, it goes against the whole ethos
