Tampa123,
I agree with much of your post, however:
...because there's been enough evidence to suggest that this likely won't occur without a Microsoft and OEM announcement proclaiming Wave to be the center of the universe.
I must say, you still don't seem to get it. Wave's success depends on MSFT and OEMs deploying TPMs and trusted o/s's. They are already doing all this. Wave's success does not depend, at all, on a relationship with any OEM or any announcement. Announcements and relationships help, but Wave can succeed without them. But...so far, it has been the OEMs that have come to Wave (after Wave showed them all how to do this) and have formed relationships with Wave. Again, I'm not saying Wave is the center, or will make anyone rich. I'm just saying that in my opinion only, you still are missing a crucial piece of this puzzle.
What is a bit exciting about next year, is that by the second or third quarter, we should begin to see...
Spot on, chap! Although I think WE will see Q3 or Q4 when WE can see the numbers. So basically, WE are still a year away from seeing the numbers we're looking for that will hopefully come. Hopefully announcements will surface prior to the numbers.
