Palladium - I remember that name. I only had my first computer for a year or two, but I remember how it freaked everyone out. I'm glad it died.

And isn't ARM's "TrustZone" pretty much the same thing, or does it have a more niche and different purpose?

Palladium didn't die. It's the granddaddy of UEFI/SecureBoot.

I worked on the Palladium/NGSCB team from 2002 to 2005 - ultimately the team shipped BitLocker in Vista, but approx half of the team were siphoned off in (IIRC) 2004 to work on Hypervisor so the engineering effort ended up contributing to two pretty important OS features.

Yeah, only the dangerous part (remote attestation) died.
