greg s: Thanks for setting me straight on that. I was hoping to demonstrate to Zeev's satisfaction what I positively know to be true: that the Intel D865GRH is shipping with an Intel installation CD that includes Wave's EMBASSY Trust Suite.
Acer's security solution includes TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 1.1, which provides hardware-based protection for encryption and digital signature keys. Intrusion alarms activate when the chassis is opened, and when the system is disconnected from the LAN (even when it's turned off).
