Barge, my main point is that it's the first time in a while that we've heard anyone say anything about LH (Longhorn) and TPM's. We never see articles about LH being associated with TPMs. We see all the other things that LH will supposedly do or not do, but nary a mention of a TPM being in the machine that runs it. I'm sure that it is partially by design, to keep the privacy freaks from whining about losing control of their PC's or some other nonsense.
Of course you are right in that MSFT will be using TPMS for media. When LH stickered machines with TPMs are sitting for sale in BestBuys, Circuit City, direct from Dell etc. there will likely be consumer apps. ready to go. With that kind of volume, the Ebays, banks and other online merchants will take advantage of them. Say good by to RSA tokes. Sheesh, so it goes, and ho hum.
ps. We've heard that NGSCB needed TPM's,but who knows where or what NGSCB is at this point in time. In any case, it looks like there should be more clarity on NGSCB at Winhec, next month.
