Intel plans to ship an upgrade to its vPro platform for business desktop computers by the second half of this year. The 2007 "Weybridge" update will be the first to introduce Intel's hardware -based Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) -- formerly known as "LeGrande."

Intel also plans to include an updated version of its Active Management Technology and will build in support for the Desktop Mobile Working Group's WS-Man standard.

The latest vPro requires new TXT-enabled versions of the processor and chipset. No other changes are made to the hardware requirements.

Computer makers including HP and Lenovo started shipping the first vPro platforms in September last year.
