Windows It seems that Microsoft may have unintentionally leaked certain details about its upcoming Windows 7 feature set in a privacy supplement that was posted on its homepage. Driver protection, dynamic update, Homegroup, People Near Me, and Trusted Platform Model are all features mentioned (and described) in this document that will be new to Windows 7 that hadn't previously been publicized.

Trusted Platform Model

I wonder if Trusted Platform Model has anything to do with their "Treacherous Computing" initiative "Paladium". Big Brother in the making and as if Vista wasn't enough reason to dump them, TC certainly is because they would have even MORE control. Very scary.

It has the potential to be scary, we are probably all right to be wary of it and Microsoft would love to take advantage of some of the things that it might offer, but I don't believe it can possibly work.
