I am waiting for that same E6500 with the 7200 drive to arrive for many of the same reasons. I'll let you know by the end of the week how hard I found it to install. I feel I must remind people that installing a piece of software like Norton or McAffe is much less difficult intrinsically to program than the combination of hardware and software that Embassy involves. Also, I can remember times in the past where I gave up on Norton because of system conflicts.

My machine is currently on the truck. FWIW it was ordered on Monday so the Dell pipeline is moving smoothly and the Dell rep was fully familiar with the idea of encrypted drives although the free fall sensor on the 7200 was a bit of a new thing to her. BTW the free fall sensor is not about falling. It is a sensor that reacts to any sudden movement by withdrawing the disk head from the drive when it senses sudden movement preventing drive crashes when you move the machine.

It appears to me that the long hard fight to become a standard is being won and that those of us who have held on will get to see enough of the sea of tea leaves turn into a sea of turned on TPMs over the next few quarters. The long long slog has created a paved path to a prosperous future. So I say to those who have hung on that I can see Las Vegas from my home in NJ.
