A quote from page two:

This sounds pretty slick in theory, but implementing it in the real world proved more difficult than Seagate had anticipated. A wealth of BIOS compatibility issues had to be overcome, installers needed a more streamlined system configuration process, and users needed more robust, friendlier integration between FDE drives and other security applications. As such, Seagate pulled back on FDE deployment and is targeting a 1Q07 ramp-up—a date that meshes with the proposed Vista launch window. Seagate isn't linking the two events directly, but Joni Clark notes that the new FDE platform software Seagate is preparing will allow for drive unlocking via the Windows logon as well as seamless integration with biometric and other security devices. And while FDE doesn't yet have a single, system-wide authentication wherein the user only needs to enter his password once, this is in the works.

Is this key management/migration? Does this mean that Seagate will be deploying a key management solution? If not, what else might it be?
