Microsoft as a leading member of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), has been working hard to define a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and a Best Practices document for building systems around a TPM. Microsoft is also working hard to produce its “next generation” operating system, Vista, which has been touted as the secure future of computing ever since it was called Longhorn. Now, Microsoft is apparently stalling the TCG to make sure that the Best Practices document will not apply to Vista.
