Ali, I could give you the "Microsoft" answer or the "Apple" answer. : - )
Microsoft answer: It will be ready next week. Apple answer: You will see a press release on the day it is released. In the meantime, we have no comment. I should point out that rather than having the enterprise feature added to the Finally Secure product that activates the Seagate drive, we will actually combine the two products. In that way, an individual can install the software and it will determine whether or not there is an FDE drive present. If so, it will activate it. If not, it will do software-based encryption. The central admin functions will be exactly the same for both. We currently have a rather robust scripting mechanism for admin controls but, recognizing that the idea of a GUI-based "central management console" is now in vogue, we are also working on that. But that would be a "Microsoft" comment, I think...

This is exactly the information I was looking for! :) Do you have the dates of when the enterprise feature will be added to the Finally Secure product?
