Well... considering the majority of the folks I know don't use mSN or anything of M$ that you must pay for execpt the os and perhaps M$ office.... I guess they need to find a way to force us to use some of the bizar poducts.
All I can see is this is likely to force the spyware / malware / jokers to have write complicated code to look at your hardware and pick it apart.
So far you can count me outa this.
Buzzz.... Wrong Answer; Wrong Soloution.

You and your friends aren't in MS's target market for this.
It is intended for ordinay computer users and small businesses -- those who want easy to setup, secure, reliable computing with an absolute minimal investment of research and education time -- time which they regard as wasted time, meaning a major cost.
For many people in North America, 3 hours of effort on training or installation translates to a cost in excess of $90. (Of course if you like that kind of work, it can be your hobby, and a benefit instead of a cost.)
Hobbiests and academics looking for something to play with, and tweak will use other products.

| Umm..
You do realize that this is just the first step, where they require ALL computers to use this chip? If you honestly believe that this is where it stops, then you are truly living in a fantasy world.... Your attitude is a band-aid to the problem (lets lock down and censor information, which is EXACTLY what the chip is meant to do), instead of the solution. This is a CENSOR CHIP, which is the REAL word for it, all hidden under the guise of 'security'. Read the documents on exactly what the chip is meant to do, and you'll understand.
If we follow your arguments to their logical conclusion (easy setup, secure, reliable and controlled and trusted by the government and large corporations), we'll end up with a well managed, patriotic and secure population.. Hmm.. sort of like 1930's germany....
