Trusted computing

I'd rather risk infection by malware than voluntarily install a system where a perfectly serviceable driver for a perfectly serviceable hardware can be killed by a remote "benefactor" at his discretion, while I'm forced to watch helplessly the progress of a system "update".

Actually, this makes the entire system malware in my books.

But the really interesting thing will happen when someone hacks into the MS certification cerver and mass-revoke the certificates of a few hundred device drivers, then pushes out another system update. This can happen, can't it?
