> When I see someone arguing against TPM, it's fairly easy to write their argument off. They don't understand what it's used for or why, which is fine, but like those gamers discussing fixed page files, their opinion is just wrong.

interesting. TPM as an optional feature and going forward I would be perfectly fine with. It is a forced feature no one is really asking for. That is why the pushback. Instead it is 'oh just buy a new PC'. Totally blind to the people with older PC's that are perfectly fine to continue using. But now they need to refresh and spend several hundred bucks for a feature they do not understand or care about.
