Emcee:  Eric L Type:  Unmoderated
Recently Dataquest Inc., a unit of Gartner Group, Inc. reported that:

"Driven by strong sales in Europe, the worldwide chip card market reached $1.4 billion in 1997, and the market is forecast to continue to show strong growth with revenue reaching $6.8 billion in 2002 ..."

In October 1998 Microsoft announced "Smart Cards for Windows", a standards-based platform that provides secure storage for security, loyalty and ePurse solutions in the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) operating system that is focused on delivering benefits of Windows-based development and run-time environments to the smart card industry.

Since then, IBM, HP, and Dell have all announced that they will be equipping various models of their computers with smart card readers.

This new thread is dedicated to following developments in the smart card industry and in particular companies that are participating in that development.
