>>"Windows 8+TPM: Germany Warns of 'Loss of Control' "
>>
>>"Windows 8 is an unacceptable security risk for companies and authorities, experts warn the government. So-called 'Trusted Computing' is a back door for the NSA."
>>
>>"According to leaked internal documents from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) that Die Zeit obtained, IT experts figured out that Windows 8, the touch-screen enabled, super-duper, but sales-challenged Microsoft operating system is outright dangerous for data security. It allows Microsoft to control the computer remotely through a built-in backdoor. Keys to that backdoor are likely accessible to the NSA - and in an unintended ironic twist, perhaps even to the Chinese."
