FWIW, that website you linked looks highly suspect to me, certainly not an official source.
Also, what makes you think you would qualify for an O visa: are you an internationally renowned (think, Nobel Prize) expert in your field? In terms of the visa waiver or the B visa, you cannot do any type of "productive" work or work that is paid for by a US source, so that is also a no-go. The B1, as with the VWP, allows for certain, non-productive, business activities, such as lecturing or presenting materials or attending meetings, providing you are not being paid by a US source. You need some proper professional advice, and I'd suggest that you ditch whatever "corporate immigration lawyers" you've been speaking to if they were suggesting things like personal service companies, O and B1 visas etc. Utter toss IMHO.
