I realize this article is really "our totally unbiased view of what Microsoft did last year" but re the headline: we should remember that there *is* a need for something that might be called "trustworthy computing" - just think of explaining to your parents why they should be wary of pop-up web messages that prompt them to "test your system for viruses", complete with an OK button that looks like it came from the operating system. If we don't come up with a robust, inoperable solution to these sorts of problems, customers will turn to Microsoft and will accept whatever baggage that comes along with it.
