Dory/Ramsey: HP

I also wonder what HP may have up there sleeve as they are proud to tout HP Security Manager is HP's IP. That may be ok if they had $$purchased the right to say that from Wave as developer for HPs ProtectTools. Wave has some real estate at HP but not on select models and at the checkout counter like Dell, or with mb for white boxes like Intel, or with TPM like STM unless STM supplies them to HPs mb vendor).

I also know HP is slow. A Wave sales rep also expressed his frustration with HP when I told him I ordered several HP DC5000s thinking they had TPMs per HPs "product specialist" (which it took several phone transfers to contact) but pcs did not have TPMs. This was less than 1 year ago and the "product specialist" had really only just heard the terms TPM and ProtectTools but had no understanding. I'm glad to see that has changed and hope HP employees learn TC by inhouse training and not from sitting on their couch watching tv ads.

By the way has HP mentioned anything about trusted printers, faxes, scanners?
