"No one does demos on anything that isn’t ironclad,"

There is a reason for all the jokes about "the demo version", standing on the premise that the demo is not representative of the existence of anything concrete in reality. Not that this is always the case or even in this case. But to suggest that a demo is iron clad proof of something nearly being ready...

... if there was anyone left thinking that Gartner often are just blowing smoke rather than talking from a position of experience or knowledge, this should finally disabuse them of that notion.
