barge re: HP

If HP is smart they will give up their Infineon-based TPM software utilities platform, and do exactly what Dell is doing...embrace ETS!

Honestly, if HP does not bundle ETS, or encourage the reselling of it in the after market as Dell does, then they will have to modify HP ProtectTools so that it's interoperable across all TSSs so that it can do what ETS does. And of course they will need to develop the trust server software as well. Remember no matter what HP does with their own TPM software, client or server, nobody can stop an HP user (using HP client utilities) from migrating to Wave's server services, if Wave is the best platform.

barge It is a minor miracle that HP is still in

the PC business. There is no reason they should be. IBM figured that out and so will HP.....IMHO.

Ironically, HP needs Wave Systems more than the other way around. I know that may sound preposterous but I think that HP needs to change its culture back to what it used to be with Hewlett and Packard.

In a sense, Wave Systems is closer to the original Hewlett/Packard culture than HP is today.

And so it goes.
