TPM and secure boot will certainly create a caste system of devices. You will only be able to run your banking app on approved devices, just like we can see on smartphone.

There are defensible arguments for secure boot, but they all thoroughly miss the larger picture in my opinion.

That said, I do believe that Windows will loose some endusers finally. Not the masses perhaps, but as long as there is an alternative, I am happy. If some apps forces me to use a specific machine or OS, I will not use it.
