Hi Unixguy - IMO we are all waiting for the same thing at this point ~ Snackman, me, probably you, and many others. Each of us has a different way of expressing ourselves while we wait.
Have no doubt, we are all somewhat disappointed in Wave's performance this many years into it. But progress is being made. That is why we all wait ~ some wait together in bunches, while other brood and complain occasionally. But we all wait none-the-less.
However, your question is valid just the same. Wave is at a tipping point. By their own admission Wave needs to close some enterprise deals. While none of us know exactly how long trials will take, we do know that if something doesn't start showing up as deals, and revenue over the next 1 - 2 reporting periods, then one would have to believe that Wave is having some serious unforseen difficulties with either their product, adoption or both.
For whatever reason we all wait, I dare say we don't have to wait too much longer for progress to show itself, or not. So we wait. Yes it's about revenues ~ but which kind of revenues is also important. If it's enterprise revenues and/or significant Seagate revenues we will all breathe easier. If it's not,,,, they'll be a big gasp, then a moan, then a curse or twelve.
Soon enough... Soon enough
