Radar,

I didn't like seeing that little post of yours dredged up again. You made assumptions which simply were not true then, and are not true now. The level of management you are at doesn't change a damn thing about who you are

.

When they offer pricing, I'll be on the phone with them. There's at least one doctor in cancer research I know who will pay out the nose to make his equations run faster on his huge datasets (http://www.dwavesys.com/index.php?page=bioinformatics).

However, the first applications of this type of physics and computing are going to be in areas such as GPS and encryption (think hardware random number generator first). General-purpose computing is still years off, no matter what a press release from late 2007 says.
