Thanks, Fullmoon...

That makes sense.

This would also mean that ACER could potentially use encrypting hard disks in all their platforms (depending on form factor) in conjunction with Wave's TDM... no?

If that is the case Acer may turn out to be a larger account than anticipated. This is a good thing.

Wave's not getting any traction with people turning on the TPMs, so they're joining the software security game.
