Hi Foam,
Really nice post.
Yes - the fact that Wave is crossing the OS chasm into the land of And is very reassuring. Wave feels less Wintel-dependent all of a sudden. ARM processors, Google OS in the Tab market. Intel processors, Windows OS in the PC market. And perhaps a hint of Appledom at some point.
This is the trust matrix, which operates across the network rather than simply within the Wintelsphere. It's going to be a lot of work for anyone to follow the path that Wave has trodden. And companies like Intel and MS are stopped at the gates of this particular Eden by sword-wielding angels.
