US Govt is adopting Trusted Computing

I recently asked a close friend who works for the government if he had heard anything about trusted computing. His response confirms what most of us have suspected for quite awhile.

They didn't have the make and model info, but the a few first machines and supporting servers will be by 17 JAN. They are TPM/TCG compliant, to have open connectivity with all the HIDTA's (high intensity drug trafficking areas) there are 32 around the nation, and also DHS agencies, of which 16 reside here with me and several DOJ agencies.
The first will be desktop PC's that are Dell, but I know some will be HP, too. Also a new batch of laptops are coming, 10/week, which are probably Dell.

I am in almost daily touch with other agencies/Centers doing this in concert with us, and DoD is driving the very same requirements.

The rest I can't comment on because DHS Security Directive 11042.
