Apple popularized trusted computing. And yes, it's as bad as we feared it would be back in the '90s.

Apple popularized me not spending hours of time troubleshooting and restarting and letting me do what I want to do.

Sad/angry/sick macs the world over would like a word with you.

Ehhh I feel like Unix/Linux popularized trusted computing, Apple merely added a price tag on it. But I may be blinded by my techie point of view about "popularized".

Yeah, unfortunately it seems like we're still in the state where UNIX/Linux can't popularize anything, especially themselves, unless they're repackaged by someone else :(
