This one big question around the T in TPM, has anyone found a satisfying answer yet?

T is for “trusted”. So far it was easy.

But who is supposed to trust whom?

The only case I found plausible so far is, that M$ can now decide whether or not they want to trust your PC (against you, the user).

The last time I tried to install Windows 11 on a VM (Nutanix AHV), I had to fiddle with a virtual TPM and lost the live migration feature as a result.

Dos this mean I can install the LTSC version, not need the TPM and have a working, live migrate-able machine?

Something to test next week…

That was just a way to stop people from booting Linux. It didn’t work. Microsoft sucks.

All well and good for Enterprise folks I guess, but what about home users?

If anything, it should be optional for personal use, and mandatory for enterprise. Not that they would come to this conclusion either way, granted that half of the workforce is busy putting ads into the start menu, and the other half are probably not doing any work whatsoever

If you don’t have TPM how can they do browser attestation and ensure you have no ad blocking software?

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I’ve been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

This is for IoT.

16 GB just for an IOT OS is fucking bloated IMO.

I found it was pretty easy to get rid of the nag. I installed a different OS. For my development stuff that needs windows and I can’t run with wine (very few tools) - I have a VM running a windows version with 0 Internet access. Fuck that company sideways.
