zen--Good work! Does INTEL intend to push aggressively Trusted Platform Modules in 2004, on the corporate side?
The evidence from the INTEL web site, sure suggests so!

The 2004 Intel Corporate Platforms are divided by Intel into ONLY TWO CATEGORIES:

1. "Small Form Factor Corporate Platform
2. Corporate Stable Platform"

BOTH 2004 Corporate Platforms SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE THE TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULES.


Checkout Slide 21(see below link), for the Summary of Recommendations. The summary could not be more clear and explicit.

Apparently the official launch of TPM enabled Corporate Intel Platform's (ie 1. Small Form Factor Corporate Platform
2. Recommended Corporate Stable Platform) will begin in "early 2004"

"The 2004 Showcase platform, code named "Kessler", is expected to launch in early 2004 with six distinct SKUs, as described in the 2004 Desktop Platform Vision Guide:
2004 Consumer Mainstream
2004 Consumer Performance
2004 Consumer Enthusiast
2004 Small Form Factor Corporate Platform (includes TPM)
2004 Recommended Corporate Stable Platform (includes TPM)
2004 School Platform "
