Windows 8 offers Secure Boot features on computers with UEFI v2.3.1 support. Is TPM(Bitlocker) still needed?
What are the Pros and Cons with the introduction of Secure Boot? Can both UEFI and TPM run concurrently?
If anyone can englighten me? Thanks.

Yes, TPM and Secure Boot could work together and having both TPM and Secure Both will enhance your PC security. For detail about Secure Boot and TPM, take a look at:

Thank you for the response. Will go throught the articles.
By chance if anyone know or heard of Firmware base TPM?
Understand firmware base TPM are used on Win 8 RT tablets. Not sure if this is the case.
