Great Find Vacationhouse! I think Gateway is the new OEM for Wave IMO. If you go to Gateway's website and go to desktops section on the right you'll see "Intel Stable Image Platform"

Aligning new platform qualification and technology transitions with the Intel® SIPP cycle can help maximize the length of time the stable platform can be purchased and deployed. The Intel Stable Image Platform Program defines annual transition cycles for desktop and notebook systems that include a 3 month qualification period followed by a 12 month stable deployment period.

For desktops, Intel recommends that IT complete new platform qualification and start deployment in the June-August window. The stable desktop platform can then be deployed for at least 12 months through the next desktop transition. For notebooks, the Intel SIPP qualification window is January-March.
