In the corporation, most users don't need, nor should have, administrator access.
BINGO! You're talking about restricted users and administrator access. That's EXACTLY what we have NOW in any operating system, including Windows NT. See how we don't need treacherous computing at all?
The algorithm and implementation is best when open, obviously, but it's only one part of a layered solution.
A security system will be as strong as the single strongest layer. If you have enough power to break it, you have enough power to break the rest. Morever, you can't consider "secure" something that's completely out of your control and knowledge, and in the hands of a few greedy corporations (note: I'm not a communist hippy. There are good corporations, and bad corporations. Bad corporations are the ones trying to fuck you in the ass, and good corporations are the ones which don't cause any trouble).

I don't see the harm in preventing the users from stealing what they obviously can't
You don't see harm because you're probably an Internet Explorer user, but there IS harm: it makes computers useless for the ones who create software and mess with it, and becomes a pain in the ass for a shitload of home users.
If there was a way to prevent a knife from killing people, it would definitely be made mandatory on all knives
But there isn't because it would render knives useless. It's the same with computers.
treacherous computing is like banning streets to end with street gangs. It's flawed from the start, if you can't see this you're blind (but this we already knew, as you must be a religious follower of microsoft), and the ones who are behind treacherous computing know this, but they still try to go on, because they don't care for streets, and they have found in gangs the perfect excuse to take over the world's computers and force users to pay buckets of money for everything and do only whatever they want them doing.
treacherous computing would leave 95% of the world's computers in the hands of half a dozen corporations, how can you be so irresponsible? How can you trust a few shitty corporations who are infamous for their disrespect of users, freedom, competition, capitalism, and the law, and are being trialed over and over because of it? Go back to Cuba for fuck's sake!
