Hello weets

I realize that there are a number of companies conducting trials of our system right now. I will be happy to be wrong, but I have my doubts about them jumping aboard the Wave vessel just yet. I don't think that IT directors at major corporations want to be ahead of the curve on new technology. They will wait until it is proven.

That's why Seagate is so important. As the first implementation of TPM protection, it will help to ease the concerns of those who have been burned in the past by too early adoption of new technology. It will show that TPMs work, and are ready to be the standard that we all hope they will be. It will also show the need for Wave's key management systems. The inertia will then be lifted, and Wave customers should close at a good clip.

But probably not till next winter. There is still a lot that has to happen before Wave can exclaim "We have made it to break even!"

Until then IMO the only wild card is NTT Data. Posters here have a good handle on most things, but NTT has gone quiet. We don't know what is happening there.
