Trusted Computing: Federal government warns against Windows 8. As long as Microsoft does not also remove the article from the network, like the same article in the Zeit. TLDR: TCP offers more and more control over computers to people who are not the owners - and increasingly restricts the rights of the owner to protect themselves from it. Which is why the BSI warns the government (the title is somewhat misleading) against using systems that use TCP in newer versions. Whereas the NSA is very enthusiastic about the new possibilities. Which gives the whole thing even more background in the current Prism discussion.
