Ramsey2...

To add a little "color" to your post. Dell SELLS directly through "partner pages" called Premier Pages. These Premier Pages (which number in the 10s of thousands, I think, by now) are where Dell puts a great deal of emphasis about new products and offerings... because it costs (and should cost) far less to get EXISTING, happy buyers to buy more than worrying about random or semi-random web traffic from the unwashed masses.

duly noted Ramsey, excellent observation -- from an individuals [mistaken] perspective, mine, i see the relative insignificance of Dell's website NOT highlighting Wave's products .... HOWEVER, that said, why do you suppose Dell expressly DOES NOT list Wave's TPM security-related software in the same prominent fashion it lists product from Norton and McAfee?!

Under "customize" scroll down to "Security Software" and, voila, nothing Wave-related:

With internet threats on the rise, the right protection has never been more critical. In the event of an infection, remember Dell does not provide support without an additional fee. However, Symantec offers industry-leading software protection which has been compatibility-tested to work with your new Dell system.
