Interesting that they didn't cover TPM configuration under RHEL with
Trousers. I guess that means that it isn't needed, and or it isn't
currently bing used for desktop missions yet in the services. As for
Microsoft's configuration, it all looks rational, right down to the
USB key idea... except for the admonition against turning off the bit
locker. Hmm... Looks like a prescription for how to crack into a
windows machine running TPM doesn't it?
