It's funny how Microsoft seems unable to do "security" without veering into megalomanic authoritarian schemes. See also Palladium.

What about trying to secure your software without building the infrastructure for an oppressive dystopian future? Too much to ask?

It's not that they can't do security without going full authoritarian, I think they do it because they want to go authoritarian. The new security benefits are just a vehicle.

They're a lot like the common politician who smuggles horrible laws into relief bills or trade treaties. UEFI (especially on the ARM platform) and intel ME are to examples of this.
