There is not much information yet available, but what I like about this is the shared security and authentication layer that sits above every device underneath it. Until now this has been a major headache for everyone. What I don't like about this is that it favours the announced large hardware companies that have been working with these specs for quite some time and are ready to give up parts of their S/W layers, but threatens many smaller H/W startups that have limited resources and have focused on the S/W experience.
