If Microsoft used decent security practices they could just revoke a key and the leaked version would stop working on all updated systems. But it's Microsoft, so I would be surprised

Isn't that the point of Pluton?

Can't say I'm looking forward to that.

I haven't been. I own a Thinkpad X13s and switched it to Pluton mode (since it wasn't enabled by default) and every single time I get a new UEFI update delivered by Windows Update from Lenovo it blows out the keys in the processor and it fails BitLocker and dumps out all my Windows Hello biometrics at the same time.

Isn't that justification to get rid of pluton then? Why keep it if all it does is make your life more difficult?

Or is it that you have to have it for business purposes?

I hope I never have to buy a computer with "decent security practices". If it's on the disk and I tell it to run, it had better run.
