Two and half years of hype, bs, and pump and dump stock promotion tactics, and it's still the fault of short sellers. C'mon man. Do you really believe that short sellers are responsible for the Glassware hype and failure to deliver a real product and sales?

Let me ask a few serious questions:

Who said "now is the time to sell sell sell" in Feb 2014, almost two years before the company mounted the product on Azure, and then said six months later "its just a DIY trial system and not intended for enterprise"?
Who said "we have a $40 million goal for Q4 2015" all the while knowing that the product was not even close to ready for sale and apparently still isn't?
Who said Glassware was patented in 2014?
Who said Glassware was embedded in all Dell products?
Who said that CCPS had 30,000 Glassware users?
Who said that New Caney had 10,000 Glassware users?
Who said "Glassware and DCO are within VMware Horizon"?
Who said Glassware was the core of Windows 10 and Azure?
Who said Glassware is a Citrix killer, and eliminates the need for VMware, all the while selling a VMware based solution?

Here's a hint: not the shorts.

As much as the ANY Twitter pump brigade that seemed to get their message from PT via a conf call. Why was it private? Why not a focus on selling product instead of stock?

Money motivated? Sharks were everywhere Mac. Live and learn.
