"Anyone reading your posts would think WAVE is about some really neat software. Your angle needs a counterbalance. "
actually to deduce that, they would have to be reading every third word.
as to the IBM product, right now what is being offered does not involve network services. Thus one would deduce it is the "basic" set of services. I will inquire further to understand how an enterprise would avail themselves of something that is so focused on individual machines. I suspect that an answer could be it is a start and once deployed we will have available the necessary services to support a broader and more robust application.
