Nick- A far more pragmatic and interesting view than those who would poke sharp sticks into SKS. Your last paragraph delineates the key challenge that Wave now faces. Will companies and IT managers take the cheap, quick dirty way out of their security issues, or will they go with what should be the gold standard?

It's an all too human tendency to put off facing problems and spending the money it will take to solve them properly. That's why the DoD will be so important, if we can get the contract. It'll force contractors to use TPM security.

It's also why Seagate is so important. It puts us right in front of people, instead of us being just one choice of many. It also gets them using keys, and confronting the necessities of managing them. If Seagate wants to squeeze us a bit, so long as we don't just give it away, I say do the deal. Get people using their TPMs, and we will eventually profit.

These initial bundling deals have never been where Wave has been going, anyway.
