For the purpose of focus:

Software solutions to system security have been the traditional response to protecting data. Its low cost and easy
integration make it a first choice for many businesses that are looking for an answer to their security concerns. But in
using only software to protect systems, they are still vulnerable to attack from outside hackers and within from malicious
employees.
To take safer computing solutions to the next level, Intel is now introducing a new generation of motherboards. This
solution combines hardware, software, and firmware components to support a more protected environment. With an
onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM), this motherboard provides hardware-based protection to enhance softwarebased
security including encryption and digital signature keys that help secure data confidentiality.
By providing these elements with their motherboards, Intel has created an easily deployed, more robust and more secure
solution for businesses concerned about platform security.

Weby's New Year's prediction
By the end of 2004 the first TPM enabled motherboard will no longer be at the top of the queque of new motherboards, but at the bottom......

This was the year we went into the box.
2003's word of the year was embedded.
Anybody want to be that Trusted Computing becomes a 2004 phrase of the year?

Whether one is sailing on the surfboard or the barge...please watch your Prescott....and have a Happy New Year.
