orda, micro- This plays in to exactly what

I was posting about yesterday, ie. that until Vista shows up, adoption will be slow. Slog on.

Version 1.2 does exist, but the correction still does not address one key problem which is that there are almost no conforming systems on the market today (this again, according to Microsoft during the conference call) and there's no way to upgrade existing systems to get them ready for Vista. In other words, new systems will have to be purchased in order to take advantage of TPM-supported features like full volume encryption (see why my colleague George Ou thinks Vista's TPM strategy is questionable). In fact, in response to a separate e-mail inquiry, Microsoft has confirmed that full-volume encryption is the only feature that requires the TPM (and a feature that won't necessarily be available in all editions of Vista).
