Larry...re IBM...

There has been a TREMENDOUS amount discussed regarding the significance of the IBM pr. Allow me the opportunity to put my two cents into the arena.
IBM certification means that the EMBASSY Trust Suite Client has been tested and certified to work in the manner as it is advertised. If one goes to the Security page on IBM's site...one will notice that there are software products available from Cisco/Ceckpoint/Verisign/Entrust/RSA/argus/Gemplus...Wave will enjoy the SAME status as those companies. Our tech is going to be available just like those of the above companies for IBM's clients to download. For those who are not familiar with IBM...they do NOT bundle anyones products with their platforms. None of the above mentioned companies have their software products bundled directly by IBM...THIS IS AN IMPORTANT POINT! When a client purchases an IBM -TPM enabled system...the user must go to the IBM website and download the software to make the TPM truly functional. Having said this...most of IBMs systems are sold through reseller channels...better known as VARs. The enterprise customer who is interested in purchasing a TPM security enhanced IBM system...would also be able to order BOTH the system and Wave's EMBASSY RUST SUITE CLIENT at the SAME time...ie in the box... through the VAR. I believe that it is at this point where the author of the Dow Jones story got confused. Wave will generate revenues as the applets are activated.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Jas
