silence said:thats not same as having chip that holds keys to your computer inside and has higher access then yourself.....i can live with what you mentioned above, but i am not sure i gonna use computer that can give access to my files to someone without knowing....
bloody hell, thats why i DO have firewall, AV, anti-spyware and use Firefox...
from what i read TC is like buying computer with preinstalled trojan.... thnx, but i think i'll pass on that offer....
I don't think it's like this. TC basically provides an environment for programs to run without anything to "probe" it. It does not have "higher access" than yourself.
Basically, in current computers, softwares can already access your files to anyone without letting you know about it. Not everyone have source codes of Microsoft Windows. Heck, most softwares everyone uses do not have source codes available. How can you trust them?
If I am not mistaken, TC is designed around DRM. "Security" is basically a byproduct, and not necessarily better than what we have now. Of course, if the web browser runs in its own trusted environment, viruses or trojan horses can't intercept your password or credit card numbers so easily, but it's still not impossible as web browsers will still have security holes.
