appears that MSFT is limiting it's exposure to TPM's to the local environment which leaves the enterprise wide system concerns to Wave. Having used Dell's control point for a year now, I don't see how MSFT would meet the needs of Dell's custmers and therefore Dell. Dell would save $.50 cents a PC to drop Wave but would gain a world of worry of how to fully Wave's functionalities in SED management and centralized TPM management.
MSFT might like to do more, but no one else wants them to. So they won't.
And Wave has more to offer Dell yet in linking securing all enterprise smart devices. Dell won't drop Wave because there is no alternative to Wave and Wave is pricing the software at a price point that creatres a barrier to entry for anyone else.
And then there's that patent on apps that Wave owns that should prove valuable.
Just trying to follow your logic here. Your first email denounces the lengthy amount of time before W8 comes out, and the next makes it sound as Wave doesn't have enough time to further build their service to be ready for it. Seems like you cover the entire spectrum with these 2 posts.
However you are correct in stating that if Wave doesn't close deals soon, they may not make it to the W8 release party. That's why I gave them 6 months 2 months ago. Everyone's on the fence except the same folks. No movement one way or the other. Same as it ever was... (here comes the twister...)
