How do you know for certain that there isn't another non-TPM chip on the device doing the same thing?

How do you know for certain that the CPU microcode does not have any lawful intercept code?

How do you know for certain that the Windows kernel does not have any lawful intercept code?

How do you know for certain that the reason that Windows disks were not encrypted by default for decades was that the government asked them to make it that way? There's a whole industry of digital forensics that's been able to make a copy of your secret files on every MS operating system from DOS onwards. Why didn't DOS come with disk encryption?



All valid points, I share these concerns as well.

As a side note the price of TPM chips just doubled. [1]
