Hi!
"Trusted Computing" is a propaganda term, designed to make you believe you
can trust your computer when in fact so-called Trusted Computing is designed
to make your computer obbey someone else. For this reason, it would be more
accurate to refer to it as Treacherous Computing, and hence Treacherous
GRUB.
A Treacherous version of GRUB would be one that refuses to obbey the user, or
tells another component of the system that the user is not trusted so that it
can refuse to obbey her. I'm afraid we have none of that.
For more details on what Treacherous Computing really is, see:
