Doma,
If it was only 65 computers, that would be $106 per seat. Thats even higher than the highest estimate I've heard. Maybe its somewhere in between. Maybe the vagueness is in the "So far." But, why mention 1,700 computers in describing cost when you've only secured a small fraction of them?
"And so Papa Gino's enabled TPM and brought in Wave Systems Corp.' s Embassy Trust Suite software to manage TPM for the company's 1,700 desktops and notebooks. So far the total cost is $6,900; the estimated savings is $22,000. "Take just the savings in support costs, things like resetting passwords," says Cahalin. "Those calls disappeared because people didn't have to call the help desk anymore."
