Misdirection or mistake? Barge, I hope you are right.

barge, while I buy into your theory on Wave's home entertainment thrust, you cannot give up on the enterprise market.

Both Intel boards equipped with TPM v1.2 (as of today) are labelled 'G', for integrated graphics. These are clearly price-conscious models for businesses. If they were destined for home entertainment usage, they would have separate graphics cards from ATI or NVIDIA.

That does NOT preclude the emergence of any further Grantsdale products with TPMs targeting the home entertainment market. I am 100% with you on Wave's role in that market (you have read my last 20 posts, right?). I fully expect MediaCenter PCs with TPM v1.2 in the near future.

My simple point is not to write off the potential of Wave's enterprise activities. Corporate sales are usually much more profitable than consumer sales. Also, an established business model helps more than it hurts when you are bringing a disruptive (read lower cost) technology to the table.
