But Ispro, you are missing the point imo.

The entry level enterprise class PC like Vostro means nothing at this point in time. HP and Lenovo don't even offer TPM on their entry level enterprise machines and even now that Dell does, it's optional! As I posted earlier, if Dell sees these machines being ordered with the TPM option than perhaps they will then consider making TPM standard for this market sector (small business) and at that point then it becomes more plausible to customize the software and bundle Wave (Dell puts nothing of their own software on these new Vostros...that's the point with these...no customization by Dell to keep costs low, low, low).

For now these machines don't matter. If the high end enterprise users have never moved to use their TPM (and are only know starting to), do you really expect Vostro users to? Well, if they choose the TPM option, I suppose they might...lol! Even then, will Vostro users need server management? As I implied in my prvious post, let's get the Latitudes and Precisions implementing and managing first, and then we can worry about the Vostros on down to the consumer. Dont worry...when TPM goes everywhere on Dell, Wave will be there!
