Trusted Computing?

Trusted computing?  What the fuck?

Basically, everything will be encrypted, and only what is allowed to be run will be run, and only what is allowed to be read will be read.  The computer will be encrypted at every single segment.

EVERYTHING will be encrypted?  Doesn't that seem a bit like overkill?  I mean, encrypting people's diaries is all fine and good, but my 5th grade brother's book report too?

Can you say paranoia?

Why do we need this?

Privately: Because "they" watch you, charlie! OMG! The truth is out there!

Corporately: To further assfuck customers.

Since information must be decrypted at some point otherwise it's useless, there's always a point where it's unencrypted. Encryption only delays the inevitable.

Hahahahahahahahaha. You are either trolling, or stoned (or you work for r1aa). Simple facts straight: 1. This is equally prone to bugs. 2. Specification mismatch doesn't have anything to do with how much do you encrypt anything. 3. If you get "an infestation of viruses", you really are a luser. 4. Suggest Googling for a reliable definition of hacking. It's not what you saw on TV or that movie, lawl. 5. Some of the people who are opposed to this are those who want to keep control of their machines, because in Mother Russia machines control you, but in free world, they shouldn't.
