Shelly--Allow me to repeat the latest public statements from Will Drewry, Director of Chrome OS security regarding TPMs and SSDs. And I once again I will restate that the documents you continue to provide this board are not up to date as amply reflected by the fact, as you welll know, no where in the documentation does it acknowledge that TPMs are mandatory on the Consumer Netbooks. Do you want to agrue that TPMs are NOT mandatory I didn't think so.
PS: Everyone should read the below link, immediately! Thanks!
I should apologize to Doma and Ramsey?
Really? Isn't that off-topic?
Anyway, this is my last post to you because I'm one post away from saying something to you that'll get me instantly and permanently banned from Ihub, AtomicBobs, Yahoo, The Future Multi-Millionaires Club, Google Mail and Great Britain!!!!
"Drewry said that Chrome OS featured auto-updating and sandboxing features that reduce exposure to malware. Like the Chrome web browser, Chrome OS was a “safe browsing” feature where it will warn the user if they attempt to go to a known malware-spreading website. Overall, Drewry described Chrome OS as an “hardened” OS.
However, the Google Netbook can be set into “Developer Mode” where some of the strict security features on Chrome OS can be disabled. “Developer Mode” is activated by a hidden switch under the netbook’s battery. This will allow developers to work freely without the security measures, or as Drewry put it, “do whatever you want.”
To further secure the Google Netbook, it will include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a secure cryptoprocessor that assists in disk encryption. As always, Drewry said that Google will constantly be updating Chrome OS with security updates from feedback from developers.
