Ispyu--Will 2004 spell UBIQUITY for WAVE?

Can there be any doubt that Intel intends to push TPM heavily in 2004? Can there be any doubt that without WAVE's Utility Services and Trusted Server, these recommended Corporate TPM's Platforms are essentially worthless to the corporate user?

Here's the evidence. I believe it's almost unequivocal.

The 2004 Intel Corporate Platforms are divided by Intel into TWO CATEGORIES:

1. "Small Form Factor Corporate Platform
2. Corporate Stable Platform"

Each of these 2004 Corporate Platforms SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE THE TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULES! In other words, it appears that ALL of the new 2004 Corporate Platforms being introducted into the marketplace will include TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULES!


Checkout Slide 21(see below link), for the Summary of Recommendations. The summary could not be more clear and explicit.

Apparently the official launch of TPM enabled Corporate Intel Platform's (ie 1. Small Form Factor Corporate Platform
2. Recommended Corporate Stable Platform) will begin in "early 2004"

"The 2004 Showcase platform, code named "Kessler", is expected to launch in early 2004 with six distinct SKUs, as described in the 2004 Desktop Platform Vision Guide:
2004 Consumer Mainstream
2004 Consumer Performance
2004 Consumer Enthusiast
2004 Small Form Factor Corporate Platform
2004 Recommended Corporate Stable Platform
2004 School Platform "
