Hi dig,

Actually, I really don't remember folks explaining the reason for the custom thing, let alone apologising for it.

I know that Wave claims it customises, therefore it learns, therefore it develops new and better products. But the flip side of that pancake is that what they currently have is less COTSy than they will admit. And we keep seeing this fact incorporated into major sales announcements in the form of delays resulting from customisation. What other conclusion can one come to?

I think we externals just don't know what's really going on. But I am sure that if things were going swimmingly, Wave's employees would filter their excitement to their friends and the price would respond.

yes, perhaps COTS is a bit rich of a definition, on that I don't know, but it does seem that way.


I suspect that it is that way but less so when they can get a customer to go all-in (GM), and that I suspect in Lee central crystal-ball never-got-it-right but give-me -a-bonus-anyway, they suspect that some iteration or another will make their integration issues go away .... Vista, Win7, Win8, UEFI ... something will make it go away and become COTS, or so it would seem they think, otherwise volume can never really happen.

Folks talk about a billion machines, all while not recognizing how arduous 18k machines was.

It's odd. The full-blown optimists like awk babble about millions of millions of machines and the flipping of switches and yet seem to be the first to line up and apologize for how long it took to turn on 18k seats ... that the urchins such as I don't understand the complexities.

A cake and eat it too thingy.
