>Instead of trusting me - think of the corporate incentive to do well here.
Unfortunately, when it comes to anything Microsoft related, due diligence research and logical thinking is rarely employed by the HN crowd, and instead replaced with anger and FUD. I've lost count of the amount of comments saying Microsoft is forcing TPM to spy on us.
Not saying that the alphabet agencies or nation states couldn't misuse Microsoft's reach to get more private customer data, but that would apply to all US based corporations, not just Microsoft. And since AFAIK, Microsoft seems to never have been hacked for its customers' data to be leaked like it happened to Sony and Facebook, it seems they're doing a good job so far of keeping the amateur bad actors out and their customers safe.
So thanks for commenting and sharing inside infos, as some big companies ban their employees from doing the same.
