I'm curious why they think TPM 2.0 is so important
 
They need guarantees of functionality to support Bitlocker and other encryption platforms. Just like Windows Vista required a composite capable video card. This isn't Linux. Every version of Windows from this point on will require these features because it is now a core feature of Windows... a set of platforms YOU KNOW WILL BE THERE

Microsoft switched to Git from their old visual source safe architecture
 
WTF are you even talking about? MS hasn't used SourceSafe pretty much ever internally. Not even when VB5/6 were popular. It was a dysfunctional filler product that corrupted itself and the code files if you had more than one user. No one used it, not even MS.

The return policy shouldn't be a way to test drive products that you may or may not keep
 
Negative. This is a very major reason Amazon is so popular... if you don't want it, it goes back. If they stop doing that, then me and whole lot of other people will just not shop there anymore, and let our Prime membership lapse.

There is absolutely no way that the platters aren't compromised. Even if they had an identical drive/controller, you aren't getting anything off of them. This guy stinks like Craig Wright, promising he has a hidden treasure so that he can borrow money against it, and never have to pay it back until the treasure is found, which it clearly wont, ever

Windows has an Executive process that lives in the same ring as the kernel, which manages things like memory and processes/threads for the system. That is what the user "SYSTEM" is illustrating... drivers/services provided by the Executive Layer.
 
How exactly is that different than Linux just using the root user/pid in those circumstances?
