barge--"GET!" this: V1.2 release is governed by Wintel (i.e., MSFT longhorn/INTC legrande), and Wintel will delay until the last moment possible so as to share as little revenue as possible with it minscule TCG "parner" Wave Ssytems -- when Wave's patent #1 expires in 2010 (i.e., the peter-meter, which, incidentally, is the 'net web-services digi-servives holy grail, unless i'm mistaken -- specifically detailed corrections fully and wholly welcome), Wintel is surely positioned to flood the market w/its heft to capatilize on the juggernaut Wave spent 100s of millions of dollars to develop... the very simplistic (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) characterization is, let SKS has his 15 miuntes in the "limelight"... Wintel will rake in the 100s of billions after patent #1 expires in 2010... and Wave will p/u up the leftover scraps based on it's numerous remaining patents, yet less pivotal IP.
PLEASE, barge or any other DD "sage", explain in detail what the scenario i describe is flawed.
"The end game is V1.2 doing remote device authentication and managing THOSE keys. Everything before is prelude."
