oclv99 / the particulars of this deal are as rare as hens' teeth. I have never heard of a company agreeing to pay a price doubling retroactively for 6 weeks. Dell is clearly motivated to help Wave achieve CFBE.

I wonder who made this decision and what motivated him? I think the deal is unusual enough that Michael Dell himself had to sign off on it. Now it could be that Michael felt this time he had to override his low-cost OEM DNA structure for the good of Wave and therefore Dell. But it could also be that certain goverment agencies recognize the critical role of Wave and placed a few calls to Michael to lend a hand. If so then maybe we'll see a few homeland security type deals in the near future... I recognize this is deep in conspiracy theory and so doesn't pass an Occam razor test. But I don't think Occam's razor is sharp enough to separate dollars from Dell without an added push from uncle Sam.
