When they used the phrase, "we will," I take it as a guarantee as well. I agree here.

However, the "we anticipate" means they are are expecting this to happen, but it could come after the new year. Anticipating something is not the same as saying something WILL happen.

Let's hope both happen though!

GO EI!

It seems rather plain, but you have those that will always find an out. Those that firmly believe the company has delivered in the past and will continue to deliver going forward. Stock price and revenue are not indicators because it is still a "start up" company. At best it's a "re-start" company. Personaly I think more licenses is a waste of borrowed (if they get it) money. Nobody, inside or outside the company, has explained why they can't get any sales out of the 6 licenses they already have.

+ Before the end of the year, we anticipate announcing a game-changing partnership that has been taking shape behind the scenes since early 2009.

So what you are saying is that ANTICIPATE equals a PROMISE. Don't think so!!

"A promise is a transaction between two or more persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service, gift or assurance to the others or devotes something valuable now and here to his use"

"Prediction Consequently, stock investors may anticipate or predict a stock market boom , or fail to anticipate or predict a stock market crash . ..."

These examples are from Wikipedia and show that there is a difference between anticipation and a promise.
