Symantec has delayed its virtualised security system for Intel's vPro platform because of licensing issues around the Windows CE platform, the company said on Tuesday. The delay is the latest setback for vPro, a bundle of Intel technologies aimed at business users. Among vPro's capabilities are virtualisation — which is built into the Core chips used in vPro — and the ability for management tools to access features that are outside the control of the main operating system. The vPro brand, along with the Viiv consumer platform, was part of Intel's attempt to recreate the success of the Centrino mobile wireless platform for laptops. In July Intel said it will begin de-emphasising vPro and Viiv from next year, in favour of the better-known Core brand. Symantec's Virtual Security Solution (VSS) is designed to run on a virtual appliance outside the main OS, making it harder for users or attackers to get at.
