greg s,

Do a search on Microprocessor Reports website for trusted computing. Try TPMs, etc. You're not going to find much. Do you really think Glaskowsky is privy to Intel's rollout plans? The conclusion of the story was written first, then Patterson developed "sources" that supported that conclusion, hence the "contribution" of hhh and Glaskowsky. Don't you think an in-depth interview with the TCG would have been somewhat more enlightning?

Hi Greg. Hasn't anyone told you yet ...

"A thousand years is as a day with a wavoid."

Something like that ... LOL!

PS: Larry, how was that for a reversal on high volume on the heels of yesterday's hammer close? Good, yes.

What reason do you have to believe that Glaskowsky is correct about the slow ramp up of the TC platform, other than the fact that you apparently respect his opinion. We are all entitled to our opinion and mine is that the TCG is pushing hard because the PC industry needs the new upgrade cycles that TC will provide. What about the deployment by IBM...already 4M. We got a report from the RSA conference that IBM TP users are anxious for more functionality.

"Perhaps the problem is the unpredictability of the TC movement itself. Given all of the various players and their competing agendas, it might take years for TC activity to ramp up significantly, says Peter Glaskowsky, editor-in-chief of the trade journal "Microprocessor Report." In all likelihood, Intel won't roll out a dramatic number of TPM-enabled motherboards in the foreseeable future. "The value [of the deal for Wave] a year from now or two years from now I think remains very, very low," says Glaskowsky. He estimates that TC won't be a ubiquitous application for at least four or five years, after Microsoft launches its new operating system, code-named Longhorn, which is expected to carry broad TC capabilities. By then, of course, Wave could very well be out of business."

I am sorry greg s, I resect your apparent technical background in the computing industry, but your support of Glaskowsky's reported remarks, sounded like bashing. I am sorry if I accuse you of bashing (OK that is not my final judgement)...so please explain why you think Glaskowsky is correct. If there is one thing about TC it is that most IT industry insiders, very knowledgeable folks, know little about it. Look, even the TCG itself deploys the first TPMs (IBM Atmels) without Endorsement Keys. If the TCG needed Wave to show them that, what does Glaskowsky know about any of this. Go ahead and ask him?


TIA,
