Intel forcing Microsoft's hand?

Some years ago I think I wrote that I didn't see what would be such a big deal about MS just scanning it's code and adding appropriate calls to validate against the TPM and voila - instant trusted computing. Although slower it would be trusted. And with greater processor speeds it wouldn't be too much slower.

Well it occurs to me, and keep in mind I'm up waaaaay too early, that the reason they couldn't do that is that so much of their code is just too sloppy. There are too many loose ends that would end up throwing fatal exceptions.

Now with Broadwater coming it seems Intel is saying "look, we're providing the sandbox just like we always did but at a lower level we're going to force you to play nicely". I think this is going to force MS to clean up it's act otherwise it won't be able to run on the new chipsets.

JMHO

bowWAVE--Reducing WAVE to: "SWIRL ANYONE?"? lol! Almost! I think the point you're making is that with the introduction of the TRUSTED Embassy OS, you finally make possible the Interoperability of Trust Domains(ie infinite flavors Vs Vanilla). If you're not making that point you SHOULD be making it! lol!
