With respect to PJ, um. This is NOT a reasonable solution.
2. I would talk to any security professionals you know. I know some Red Hat
people and frankly I'm afraid that what we have in the malware industry is a
multi-billion dollar monster with resources to look for vulnerabilities in both
software and hardware. To me this is Microsoft's answer to virtualization which
yes is that powerful. That's no excuse for it -- or justification. It makes
the problem worse not better.
1. If no security researcher publishes a crack for it within two months of the
hardware hitting the market it will be because some people don't want it
published.
Anonymous was right. This is about bricking your computer after it gets invaded
-- period. There are issues with what hardware makers are doing -- apart from
UEFI -- which are being discussed but it looks like more and more systems are
going to be like the Playstation 3 which opens up the issues Microsoft is
clearly trying to address in the way it normally does: to put it politely, with
an understanding of what computers are capable of which is SO thirty years
ago.
