Microsoft has backdoor to all Windows8 machines!

According to leaked internal documents from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) that Die Zeit obtained, IT experts figured out that Windows 8, the touch-screen enabled, super-duper, but sales-challenged Microsoft operating system is outright dangerous for data security. It allows Microsoft to control the computer remotely through a built-in backdoor. Keys to that backdoor are likely accessible to the NSA – and in an unintended ironic twist, perhaps even to the Chinese.

And what Microsoft does remotely is not visible to the user.

In short, users of Windows 8 with TPM 2.0 surrender control over their machines the moment they turn it on for the first time.

Way to Orwellian for me. Anybody else surprised this shit has happened?

Wow. Another reason I'm glad I had Windows 7 installed on my new machine instead of Windows 8!

Eric from the way the article reads, I take it that the backdoor is available only with Windows 8 that has touch screen capability.
