Fight back??
I'm not really sure got this Trusted thing right (cause if I had, I'm really, terribly scared), but if I'm grasping the concept: major software companies have joined major hardware companies and music industry companies and movie companies and might as well have support from the government, which might just get a new way to monitor everyone. So we are going to: "get very vocal in our opposition to this"... Sure! That'll do it!
And how exactly are we going to explain people that doesn't know anything other than MS exists this is a bad thing. (I'm talking about people that speaks of internet as the thing 'behind the blue e', which are the vast majority) My guess is most of them are actually going to think this is something good. They don't think Gates is the devil, they beleive he's some sort of genius and trust MS. They like their MS applications and are thankfull for them. If you think about it, software companies are already in control of their computers, I'm sure nobody wants a strange game to be loaded into their computer's ram when they start up excel, however it was in most versions... To their concern now only *serious* 'trusted' companies (in their regard) will be able to be in charge of computers and hence viruses wont get there. They couldn't care less about interoperability, understand something must be done about piracy, would like to end viruses, wont believe they are losing their privacy:
-Mom, a great conspiracy is taking place to track everything you do on your computer
-Sweety we are going to take you to the doctor now, there's nothing to be afraid of, he just wants talk to you and feed you some anti depressives....
I'm sorry, but a bunch of nerds are not going to change people's image of ms, ibm, intel, amd, sun, sony, etc. They've seen to many propaganda.
