Could you point me to that reference? I have not been able to find that is his excerpted chapter. That's also contrary to the eWeek article that I referenced so, I'd love it if you could clear this up for me. cheers. The models do not have them? Could you point me to that reference?

And he is releasing some software to let people control the TPM themselves, so you can lock crypto keys to the TPM and such. He actually seems kind of disappointed that the chip is disappearing as it will make his software less useful. Well, if you look at Amit Singh’s article, which is here:
