more informative than SKS's comment is the reply to it. Once again the question of why the TCG members don't use the tech remains the 800 lb. gorilla in the room.
so YOU'RE the one.
sounds positively rosy eom
there's not one damn thing funny about a delisting notice.
"Where are we in the de-listing process?"
That's the one area in which we're seeing real progress.
Just because a company is one of the first to offer a new technology which will become dominant
doesn't mean it will prosper.

DD should focus on the business end of Wave at least as much as the tech.
The single most important factor for the company is whether it will prove itself able to close the sales of it's product.
If it can't all the IT acronyms and lost laptops in the world won't be enough.

you guess wrong
First of all , you don't know till you try. Secondly when they see what the legal fees related to the breach will cost, the price of a new windows based network will look like a bargain. Thirdly many legacy Unix based terminal systems are being replaced anyway for functionality reasons aside from the security issues (internet access for example).
So I reiterate, I would call them today if I were on Wave's sales team. And for that matter I would call every company that has had a publicized data breach and you can bet they're not all locked into Unix and they're not all using Windows ME on a Packard Bell.
btb
Agreed. So why can't Wave close the deal? Sales is a skill...the better mousetrap doesn't sell itself. All of these data breach "what if" posts serve to point out the impotence of Waves' sales approach. You'd think Wave could sell to Hannaford Bros Supermarkets tommorrow. I wonder if they'll even try.

The question is will Wave software continue to be included on the driver CD (or DVD) which accompanies the Intel motherboards.

Anybody know how much? Seems like TPMS should be part of the solution.
I E mailed George Gilder a while back on this very issue (we have a mutual acquaintance) but he didn't respond. I'll keep trying.

There is no public record or admission by any OEM partner that they use Wave. I find it odd and don't buy the idea that everyone is using it but keeping it a secret due to security concerns. Think of the position of a company like Intel...they certainly have the technical expertise to adopt the technology, they have plenty of secrets to keep from AMD; They also have a self interest in promoting the TPM's that they are installing on their own motherboards and God knows they could get a good price. If Wave can't sell them who can they sell?
Still you can't just write the company off 'cause as far as I know they are the only game in town for centralized administration of TPM technology which for large enterprises is essential.. We'll see.
btb
Happy to hear it. Would love to know about any other experiences good or bad...this is MY MONEY we're talking about.

How many here have TPM activated machines running Embassy Suite?
Would you comment on your experiences with same?
I find this kind of stuff troubling:

primarily, it's not that easy to get a non Vista machine from a large vendor, so I would think enterprise businesses are simply holding on to their older machines for now, many of which don't have TPMs. Also ,Vista has features which work in conjunction with the TPM and therefore by it's very nature makes users more likely to be aware of and curious about the technology.
(I'm extrapolating from what I see in SOHO IT on a daily basis but I have no direct knowledge of current Enterprise IT).
btb
Enterprise resistance to Vista is significant (and understandable). I think this makes Wave's adoption much slower than it might otherwise be. How do others see it?
I would expect Intel to activate and use the TPMS on their own Motherboards for the same reason I expect Mario Batali to eat at his own restaurants.
If he won't, why should anyone?
Perplexed but long WAVX
btb
How hard can it be to get Intel or Seagate or Dell to adopt this technology in their own enterprise?? G-d Knows they understand it so whay don't they adopt and make their adoption public?.
What am I missing?
Great Question...I keep asking myself that. You would think that TCG members would be early adopters of TPM Technology.
