Weby, thanks for the reply. I understand now.
Well, it doesn't seem realistic to expect all 50 million
computers (and TPMs) to activate all at once. The only
way that could possibly happen is some sort of government
edict or a law being passed requiring it.
But, isn't it quite possible for 2 or 3 or even 5 million
TPMs to go active over the next couple of years? And if
that happens, then is it reasonable to see a bunch of
ERAS sales flowing to the company over the same timeframe?
And, if the military or government decides to start the ball
rolling with a program or two, then wouldn't that prompt
other entities to participate in some fashion, thereby
generating more ERAS sales?
I don't know how this snowball starts rolling down the slope,
but one would think that something is going to happen with
all those computers w/ TPMs out there and more and more public
awareness of TPM management via TCG.
I guess the fastest way to generate momentum would be some
public (military) contract. I guess that is where Admiral Inman
plays a part. There is no way Inman would get involved unless
there is something going on. The guy would only get involved
because there is alot of potential and maybe more than just potential. He is too busy and has too many options available to him.
Wow. 50 million computers! Would you know how many new computers with TPMs are rolling out each month?
this is fascinating stuff.
thanks
