barge. "real issue"?! WHO CARES IF "Trusted Computing achieves critical mass by 2010"?! -- ...on a philosophical basis, sure; will industry drag it's feet that long -- HOWEVER, barge, DO EVERYONE ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD [WHO RESPECT YOUR OPINION] A FAVOR: ADMIT THAT A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT IN WAVX HINGES ON REVENUE DERIVED FROM LICENSING OF WAVE'S IP -- SURE, if Trusted Computing DOES NOT achieve "critical mass by 2010", Wave will be far less successful, if successful at all.
that said, i think it's clear that Trusted Computing WILL achieve "critical mass by 2010" -- HOW COULD IT NOT WITH MSFT-LONGHORN OUT NEXT YEAR OR '07 AT LATEST?! -- SO, BASED ON THAT PRESUMPTION, WHAT NOW? DO WE IGNORE THE ISSUE OF HOW TO VALUE WAVX, AND HOW THAT WILL CHANGE IN 2010, BASED ON WAVE'S IP?
p.s. now you're starting to piss me off barge; as much a cheerleader as you've always been, to pull an about-face and second-guess the imminent, impending world of Trusted Computing MAKES ME QUESTION YOUR SINCERITY.
