I wonder what standards Intel and Dell are talking about from the article below? Could it be the TCG standards? It is so obvious how MS, Intel, Dell, and the future will show that Wave, are all in bed together and that especially MS, Intel, and Wave had this mapped out years ago.
Kisamura and Zen - Wave could not be bought because it would have completely frustrated the new paradigm they have created together. You have to remember that the Technology companies are lightyears ahead of us with their business models and strategies. This was written long ago. That's why you won't see the level of competition that will hinder Wave from being a multi-billion dollar company, because they are way too ahead of the game at this point for anyone on the outside of the relationship to catch up or even penetrate. Remember MS and Intel need Wave just as much as Wave needs them. The need is equal from an overall growth of business perspective.
Dell CEO: Less Regulation on Digital Movies, Music

Dell CEO Kevin Rollins told the Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that he thinks the government and regulators should step back and resist any temptation to regulate the digital movie and music industry.
He also suggested that entertainment companies should try to be a little more cooperative with the technology industry in creating new ways to deliver digital movies and music to consumers.
"There are many new ways to deliver content to users without having to bar them from access to content or entertainment," Rollins explained, saying that such action stunts growth rather than promoting it.
On Tuesday, Dell partner Intel told the Supreme Court to not get involved with the argument between the entertainment industry and file sharing networks over peer-to-peer file sharing. Even some artists have come out in support of file sharing networks, saying it gives them exposure they'd otherwise not receive.
Rollins did want to make it clear, however, that Dell as a company was not coming out in support of illicit P2P activity. Instead, Dell and other technology companies would like to work with the industry on standards and innovating delivery of content to users "rather than try to put artificial barriers up."
Dell does have a financial interest in digital music's success, as it produces several portable audio players.
