This may be absurd, but maybe the people who made the HP decisions didn't fully recognize the implications or assumed that the protect tools could do the job. If you recall, Infineon's literature suggested that their software worked on all TPMs because there was a standard. I have seen many corporate decisions made that seem silly in retrospect, that I would not be surprised this is the case here. Now that they are in this position, the question is how do they best reolve it - drop Boradcom, simply stay as is with reference to a thrid party or bundle some level of Wave. If Wave does not want to invest the money and resources to integrate ETS inot Protect tools ( I am told that but I don't beleive everything), then the choice is more limited to HP. Since they make a big deal out of ProtectTools, I am sure the corporate branding folks would not be inclined to have a HP ETS out there at the same time. No easy answers.
