soros man.. that's a safe bet lol!!! You stated "This means WINDOWS will use WAVE SYSTEMS in some sort of capacity" -- IMHO EVERYONE will use wavx technology directly or indirectly.... Regards, C2
I've heard that Intel wanted to be in this space years ago. In fact they had started doing developments in that area. I was told that MSFT told Intel to sell it off or they would turn to AMD. So Intel sold off its intial trusted computing efforts to....InterTrust.
So I think Intel has wanted to be in this area for a long time. MSFT being pinned to the mat by InterTrust opened the door and they stepped through.
