Regardless of what some people might have imagined or extrapolated at the time, the actual published specifications and technologies were nothing like that. There has never been a TC/TPM mode that would have generally locked systems down or even been useful for DRM (that'd have required a trusted hardware path which was never specced nor implemented). Locking a system down against tampering or for DRM does not require flexible open specifications with multiple competing implementations. It requires you to do an Xbox 360. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
