If it's this fragile, I wonder how much of the demo they showed on that video was real...

I hope that it gets integrated into the usual Google account system. I don't want a gmail.com account AND a googlewave.com account, that's just daft.
a) Pretty sure the demo was all real. Getting stuff to work with 5 people or so is easier then 100,000.
b) Seems to be the same name just with @googlewave.com at the end. I never got a choice of anything different.

Getting the scaling right for something like this - especially like this, with its serious emphasis on realtime - is going to be a right PITA.

Oh, I agree completely, they'll be very slowly scaling up the number of users and keeping an eye on the server backend statistics and fine-tuning everything. That's exactly what's meant to happen at this stage in a project like this. I'm not pissed off at all with Google, that's for unrealistic Internet trolls...

Can't they just upgrade the RAM or something?

And tighten up the graphics. That would help.

Looks like Leo must have sent me one when we were still doing the "first one to PM" thing. It arrived a couple of hours ago. So cheers to Leo, but apologies to anyone who was above me on the list.
