What is going on here is the long known fact that Microsoft is a SOFTWARE company not a hardware company and Apple is BOTH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE company.
You sure can be sure that Apple has NO INTENTION of letting ANY of its software run on all this hardware that IS NOT APPLE and that Apple did not make a profit selling it. Put another way: Money, Money, Money, fool. Now would you really blame them? I sure would. But they got the codes we do not. And Bruce points out, that is complete paranoid BS based on a total misunderstanding of what EFI and TPM actually are. As Apple moves into bigger market share, soon you will find Apple programs that are far superior to Microsoft and the public will start migrating toward Apple to replace Microsoft. The only sad part here is we are talking years and years and prices that people will pay to keep the virus problem out and the ease of use in. It is just a matter of money.

That is complete paranoid BS based on a total misunderstanding of what EFI and TPM actually are. If what you say is true, it should be trivial for you to point to me the place on Apple's website where they have the 'Linux Enablers' available for download.
