CMF, that is what I have been thinking for awhile? The back of my mind has always been somewhat apprehensive about the fact that we are playing with gorillas like msft and intel. What advantage is it for them to let us play in their court? From everything ive seen and read we seem to have given the embassy hardware to these co, ala NSM, intel, etc, albiet we still have the meter. If we go under they could pick us up for a song and keep all the cash for themselves.
I know that they want a trusted third party, but when your talking everything digital (thats a lot of cash), greed sometimes takes the front seat!
