What's funny about "leverage" that in the case what you leverage on, do fail, you sink deeper than in the case it fails without you leveraging on it. Just ask a commodity futures trader.
Isn't this case different from the Intel's CPUID initiative? I believe it is waned not due to privacy concerns but lack of interest from the public and business circles. Intel is primarily a chip producer which is only a part of the computer, thus relatively with little power to influence the mode & model of businesses. However M$ is the real 800 lbs. gorilla in the town with its profile both in the public and business environments and the power to influence applications. Thus when Intel's CPUID initiative got scoffed or not taken in the account, M$'s Palladium or TC initiatives may receive more attention and approval, ie forcing chip producer to act in M$ or to face loss of market. So I don't guess writing to them, unlike the CPUID case, may have an influence to make them to consider to reverse their position on the issue.

Surely they reserve these to themselves. Lots of budget deficit to patch.
