Some Windows 11 talk

Postby Peru » Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:58 pm

The US defense connection is also a major reason why Microsoft will prepare separate Win11 versions for sale in China, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes. In these countries and many others, TPM chips are against the law. These powers may be suspicious that the DoD has inserted a back door into TPM encryption, as I reported in my September 6 column.

Some very big dog walkers are yanking on Microsoft’s collar. Despite the Redmond corporation’s size and wealth, it faces a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” dilemma:

Very big makers and users of PCs, servers, and other devices are pressuring Microsoft not to make hundreds of millions of their deployed units unable to run Win11, which many CEOs will think is an essential new thing. That’s the reason MS added its new, permissive Registry key.
The largest defense department in the world — which has a bigger budget than the militaries of China, Russia, and the next five countries combined — is telling Microsoft that DoD won’t buy and use Windows unless SHA-256 is baked in, which requires TPM 2.0. That’s why MS is making Win11 sound like a fantastic, exciting toy everyone needs.

What a world. I'm mostly Mac these days, but still have to deal with Windows at work. I also have been moving to Linux OS for some devices at home, but that brings it's own issues.
