If the trusted bios will be denying all code that hasn't been signed then this is doomed to fail.
Let me explain why:
Large corporations still (and always will) run custom build applications. If this new "TRUSTED" computing initiative is going to deny all these applications then this will all go away very quickly. No-one likes to be told what they can or can't do on their computer this includes corporations so there will always be alternatives to this insidious scam.
So far DRM hasn't touched upon the basic needs of large and medium sized businesses. They've just made it harder for the average joe to copy MP3's.
In a few years this will all look like betamax.
My 2 cents
b.t.w. wait until the bough breaks and lawsuits begin to stream out: WE CAN'T RUN OUR CRITICAL APPS..........
