microsoft 

So, Microsoft decided to break lots of people's computers:

xda-developers.com/microsoft-c

Any "security improvements" that require people to buy a new computer (or phone) is a security upgrade that poor people and/or people in the third world don't benefit from.

It is worse than useless, it is discriminatory, it is obscene. It throws people under the bus, causes us great economic duress, for the sake of other people's security. It erects a walled community and keeps us out, and pretends things are safer by removing us from the statistics.

@eldaking With my (probably justified in the case of Microsoft...) conspiracy theory hat on for a moment, they are entirely too insistent about having a TPM for it to (just) be about security of the user.

I bet this is related to DRM in some way.

@joepie91 Well for me it seems pretty transparent how: secure boot is extremely laborious to set up for anything but unmodified windows.

Microsoft keys are trusted by default. A mainstream Linux distro is a pain in the ass but could work. Anything custom is out of question.
