When you add the fact that unlike the cybersecurity programs often cited on this forum by some, at the insistence of their Channel Partners, OEM's, ISV's, customers and prospects Validian apparently made the decision approximately three years ago to make fundamental MAJOR changes to VP's capabilities, compatibilities, and marketability, you get a better understanding of everything Bruce has been doing.
As some have pointed out on this forum ad nauseam, any programmer with average skill can create a cyber security program built upon the foundation of the failed technology of the past four decades. And there is no doubt, Bruce could have done the same. But from the beginning, almost from the day he took the helm of VLDI over a decade ago, it is obvious he was thinking outside of that box. He wanted to create something that actually solved the cybersecurity problem not just put another band-aid on the hemorrhage.
He did that with the original version of VP that was PC based, and as I recall, it appeared that VLDI was preparing to roll out that version of their product as early as 2012-2014. At least, that was when they came to my attention.
Of course, we now know that was the same time the world was coming to the conclusion that Mobile was the wave of the future and PCs were the antiques from the past. Therefore, NOTHING would have been gained by Bruce pursuing recognition of their PC based product. There is no doubt they could have sold it, and perhaps even sold VLDI as well, but for pennies on the dollar of what VLDI will soon be worth. I for one am thrilled that Bruce made the decision to take the company a new direction that IMO will make VLDI worth high single-digit and perhaps even double-digit $Billions instead of a few $hundred million.

There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see, none so deaf as those who WILL NOT listen, and none so ignorant as those who only learn from those who have less information than they do.
