Fullmoon, from your article, the two key challenges Intel could face in its acquisition of McAfee are highlighted below. The first challenge will likely require a lot of time to execute (time that for once may be in Wave's favor), and the second should restrain Intel from stepping on the toes of its PC OEM customers like Dell and HP who have their own branded hardware security offerings. In the meantime, this move, as Alea pointed out, should effectively put trusted computing and Wave in the spotlight. The coming months, especially the Trusted Computing Conference, could now provide us with a more interesting opening chapter.
"Intel will have to figure out how to integrate a big software company into its hardware business -- and it will have to address the concerns of its existing clients who use products made by McAfee competitors."
