It seems that we're allways coming back to the starting point, and to this doubt: is WC comercially viable as a standard solution?
It depends (as a user/consumer/responsible for the organization) where do you want to go.
Right now there's too much hype around this issue, and the fact that big PC brands join the flow isn't too good. They're just riding the wave.
As for outdated concepts being sold, hell, car and electric appliances manufacturers do the same, often creating sub-brands.
The thing is ROI.
If I have an organization with 50~100 pc's and decide to go for WC I need MTBF and also to know the return of my investment in 3 years time, because I won't change the WC setup once in a year. Does that exist today?
Maybe Cathar has something to be affraid of, if the price tag of his new block is high, because as he mentioned it once, lot's of talk, but the cash register doesn't reflect it.
So, WC will suffer from "foster scale" and "value" ans perhaps inovation.
