awk TPM 2.0 MSFT etc,

It does appear from all this that the shim utility of Wave is be subsumed by MSFT (as anticipated by Wave and others some time ago).

At the time the notion was that hopefully Wave could make a considerable amount of hay prior to the whole interoperablity issue being abstracted away by the rich OS.

Two things: 1) at some point the whole notion of Wave special leverage afforded by their efforts in interoperablity will vanish, that point being Win8, and 2) Folks like PwC that are still contemplating may now have incentive to wait for a Win8 upgrade cycle, blowing notions of shims and interoperability out of the water.

So, in the end, did interoperability provide Wave with enough of a foothold to make the vanishing of that feature of their products immaterial?
