Identerati: Timidity Trumps Trustworthy Computing: "Microsoft's explanation for not putting TPM on Vista Home or Vista Business is that there is that individual users are not capable of backing up the encryption keys, leaving them in danger of losing all their information because, in the event of a computer failure, the hard drive cannot be decrypted. Bad news to be sure. But why couldn't Microsoft have shipped their 'Bitlocker Drive Encryption' module with all versions of the OS but left it disabled until some some key escrow services appeared to activate it?
We seemed to have missed a march on trustworthy computing. Again."
