Hi Alea,

Thanks for the pep talk, but I must confess I posted that diagram while I had "tongue in cheek".

Not to diminish what you have just said, I really do understand your opinion and frustration with the lack of progress (I am as well) but all the effort going into this "trust matrix", well I feel it is to big to fail.

I cannot hold SKS and Wave responsible for the lack of what is a general ignorance of the Trusted Computing space, and what appears to be a much more complex sales cycle than anyone ever imagined.

If I were to hazard a guess (this must be the 100th time) it looks like 2012 has some interesting technologies coming together that can benefit from TCG specifications.

Things like the GlobalPlatform initiative, Mobile payment schemes using Near Field Communication (NFC), the deploying of the Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) specification and products using them, Products using the Hypervisor (Virtualization Technology) in the clients to create secure multiple domains for multi Operating systems running on one device, and last but not least Windows 8 operating system that will be able to boot from a Self Encrypting Drive.

Imagine the hype around MicroSoft being able to state one of the most secure OS's for the Enterprise by booting from a SED and has a self healing capability as well.

I maybe wrong in my "dreaming" but if I'm half right it should be very interesting in Wave's world.

Hi 4321,

Well now, don't go getting down, my friend. I like your cheeriness. Your job is to provide the wild optimism and mine is to try to deflate you just a little bit, but not all the way.

HAP was a great example of Wave's reality. The word filters down to get excited about this particular thing. And then not much of anything happens. Looked awful nice, that diagram, didn't it.

At this point, Q4 could very well be the charm. Trouble is, we don't know which Q4. Are we talking 2011, 2012, 2020, 2050?

Maybe Wave is the ultimate black swan. A vastly costly technology that generates no business. Maybe your dream is right around the corner. I hope so. Unfortunately, so much hope has already been wasted. It is a much more stable state simply to predict less and to work with reality. When they release the news is when the progress occurs. Even four major deals in 2011 looks like it is beyond them.

Why the heck hire 50 people? Is he doing this to avoid the appearance of failure if he cannot keep the revenues increasing beyond 2011? It's all a bit perplexing. Where's the beef? Revenue per sales person is going to drop through the floor at this rate.
