Hi alea,
Thanks for the advice I do appreciate it.
I think I have a fairly good understanding of what negative forces are trying to achieve on the various boards, I do read as many of them as time permits. I know I should not try to get a good answer from him but every now and then I can't resist.
With Unix (he and I go back to the days on the BOB before I was banned) I was trying to see if he would respond to a straight question which of course he did not. I had originally created this response but chose not to post it as something was going on with the I hub formatting of my response. Don't know if it's their site or my computer, but here it is:
I don't believe Wave is "in Windows 8" if they are well, great. I'm more happy that MicroSoft has built in the Trusted Measured Boot of the System and utilizes the TPM/MTM on any device that has one. That allows a third party product/Service like Wave's End Point Monitor to do Attestation of the TPM that the Device Booted in a Trusted Known State. This is done while validating the Credential held in the TPM that the Individual and machine can get on the corporate server and follow policy of what that credential/machine/individual is allowed to do. The reporting is done in real time analytics so failed attempts can be reported for continuous monitoring purposes.
It's a bonus that Microsoft has demanded for Windows on Arm that a TPM/MTM functionality be present. It sets up all those 100's of millions of machines called Tablets and Super phones for the same secure measured boot of those devices.
The fact that Windows 8 supports Self Encrypting drives is a boon as well because of those wonderful patents around a High Assurance Boot using the TPM/SED and the ability to self heal the Hypervisor and Master Boot Record.
Being in IT, I'm sure you are aware of all this and are just pulling our leg.
The Beer next Dec/2012 is going to be good.
Hope you and the family are well.
