dilleet, that I was once a...

... wavoid, is true. However, I moved from being a follower of the company to a watcher of the TCG movement. The recipe for security is available at: http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org

Dell's offering is being delivered today to government and enterprise level customers. I've heard through the grape-vine that if a machine does not have a TPM on board that government procurement officers are warned not buy. Though the Mac does not have a significant footprint in the government space, without a TPM and the government's requirement for it, the opportunity in this space will close.

Trusted computing is now officially here. That you heard about this deployment is unusual as it was done with very little fanfare.

I do agree that the security threat to the Mac is not anywhere near the PC levels. However, do you remember the tipping point of security? Do you know when it all of a sudden became a big threat? It started long ago with a single virus.

We can learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it...
