Re: Forcing hardware upgrades in the midst of a global silicon glut, how to do PR the Micro$oft way.
You clearly missed the article where Microsoft signed off on a rootkit, a TPM 2.0 Chip makes no difference whatsoever if Microsoft don't check the code they are signing off, on.
TPM 2.0 is only as good as the security Microsoft have in place on checking/validating code that becomes part of the OS, and regarding the signing of this rootkit, what seems apparent, is that there was none.
TPM 2.0 seems more about locking down what you can do wtth your PC with Windows 11 installed, rather than securing it from malware, as here, with Microsoft failing to check/validate code that they've signed.
Importantly looking ahead:
With Windows 12, Microsoft get to decide which hardware is supported because they control the TPM 2.0 chip. In a word, it's a massive power grab.
