It has come to the attention of the petition-makers that you [Micro$oft, IBM, et al - but NOT Apple Computer] are creating a new standard for the PC, Trusted Platform Computing [also called PALLADIUM by M$]. Far from creating a better PC and online experience for the home or business user, these new standards would enable the TCPA to dominate and control the computing market and to essentially take control of any user's computer any time the company wishes (even when the user does not desire the control). In addition, it would take away the rights of users to use their legally purchased software in the manner that they choose.

Possibly the most blatant attack on freedom of information in the English language since William Tyndale was burned at the stake in the 1520s?

Decide for yourself - follow the references - sign the petition - FORWARD THE LINK TO THE WORLD
