Not really, the only saltines comes from OPs tears all over this post.

It's just so fun seeing how OP is faced with either having an unsecure system or having to pay to replace his otherwise perfectly capable machine, but still has so much loyalty to Microsoft (or he's in extreme denial) that he's throwing shit at everybody,even those who just explain Microsoft won't drop the requirement.

But it's ok, my non TPM machines will continue to work for years, always up to date. And when 12 rises the requirements yet again I'll laugh at all the people crying that a trillion dollars company isn't hearing them.
