Kudos for another excellent blog-post on this matter. But as the Windows8 Hardware Certification Requirements also extensively covers TCG-specifications (TPM, TIS, PPI, rtc.) in later chapters, IMHO two statements do not hold true: 1. Secure Boot can be used to implement DRM 2. Secure Boot provides physical security
You marked both of them as "untrue", which is correct when solely focusing on "Secure Boot". But when combined with "Trusted Boot", both statements become fully valid.

Thanks, but IMHO 2 oversights
