rachel...that is a darn good post! I agree with you 100%. I will go a step further. Prior to the DELL agreement, we got the STMicroelectronics tieup (via NTRU) and I think there is substance to that BECAUSE it wasn't too long thereafter that CB (Cartes de Bancaires) decided to give Wavesys another big push. Something DEFINITELY going on there.... I think that TCG is catching on BIG TIME (well this is a no brainer) and that these players are sensing that Wavesys is going to be a long term player here and that they might as well link up with Wavesys. Of course, it didn't hurt to have good ole INTEL giving Wavesys the big nod of APPROVAL either! MSFT will come along but the question is to what degree and in what capacity. MEANWHILE, i still think HOMELAND SECURITY is gonna be a BIG WINNER for Wavesys. This is a different kettle of fish and the players there are lining up nicely. ho hum....
