My opinion is that TPM deployments will explode to the upside beginning 2nd half of 2005.

unix, I don't know why I'm responding to you but..... Dell was requested to have TPM computers available from their customers (enterprise is 85% of their business btw) that's why they've launched 3 new laptops, 2 work stations and X# of desk tops with TPMS before 1.2 comes out in the summer. Do ya think Dell would make these systems available if they weren't going to sell any? Wave gets a little more than $10 per unit, wave is the only software that gives these TPM's any usable functionality to date. Do ya think that the customers that requested these systems want them to have usable functionality? Do ya think Dell may be able to sell 10 million units out of their 35 million overall projected within the first quarter and a half? If 85% of Dells business is enterprise, and it's the enterprise customers that requested the TPM's, and wave ETS is the only software that adds usable functionality then IMO it goes to 100% ETS activation. 85% of 10 million is 8.5 million X 10+ dollars per unit...... seems like a potential 85 million to wave.
