Hi Hari,
I'm more excited about NIST actually showing a TPM in
their slide presentation while discussing Roots of Trust for BIOS Protection mechanisms, than the video. NIST shows clearly what they have in mind. JMO
I think we all know and alea has written some "kick ass" posts recently discussing what Wave's trying to do and has shed much needed light on the accounting of last weeks estimate of 2011 losses. Thanks again alea.
We know in the consumer space the chips with the firmware MTM/TPM functionality are in production to support Windows 8 release (devices) for the Fall 2012. Even if the consumer heard about the benefits of turning on the TPM/MTM they are not in the tablets or super phones that they use now. Apple is still a hold out as to whether they will adopt.
How serious is the DOD on the short term to implement WEM for existing PC's after the pilot. If it takes until the fall 2012 to show their intentions then it is going to be cruel and unusual punishment for the SP and Longs unless some ray of revenue sunshine can shine on our favorite stock. JMO
