German government officials from the Federal Ministry of Economy, the Federal Administration and the Federal Office for Information Security are warning against using Windows 8.
Industry is urging to implement TPM 2.0 which will let the manufacturer decide which apps will run on your computer hardware or not. PCs with preinstalled W8 will have TPM enabled by default in 2015.
Even worse, TPM 2.0 will make it even easier as today to capture everything from your PC as the TPM offers a backdoor with the keys available to you know whom.
BRD´s official IT experts are warning not to use Windows8 with TPM as the backdoor can not be closed and content is presumably available for Microsoft, NSA and who knows else.
"Using TPM with this peculiarity is not acceptable for Federal Administration or operators of critical infrastructure facilities"
