One more important thing for now

I believe that providing the infrastructure for the certificates is NOT the kind of thing the MSFT will subsume in the OS in the near future if ever.

Weby, there are two govt. deals Wave is involved in THAT WE KNOW OF. I believe there are more to come.

There are many bids out there, and I believe Wave is/was involved in quite a few, and no matter who got/gets the prime contract, Wave will/would be there with the winner of the bid. That is why I believe there is more to come.

Weby, agreed. The only thing I am arguing about is whether Wave "knows to the penny" what the total proceeds from the ORC sub are, or whether they can only speculate. Go-kites position requires that the entire $100M authority is already fully exhausted (POs exhausting the authority have been issued). I think that is rubbish. The authority is an ID/IQ to play out over month or years. Just like the NIC deal. See what Dutton has to say. One individual is spewing nonsense about knowing (TODAY!) Waves take from a $100M ID/IQ authority, the other is calling him on it, and the posse piles on. Standard Wave.

It could be that the whole 100M is already spent, in which case the POs exist, and Wave knows its cut. It that is true, I am wrong. I do not believe the 100M is spent. I believe it will be spent over months or years. Once it is spent, Wave wil know how many units its customer chose to buy.
