	But if MS gave us all that NOW, we wouldn't have reason to get
	excited about, and to buy, the next, new IMPROVED release of
        Windows.  Call me cynical, or just call  me  understanding.  I
        mean,  I  can't blame them, not really: they are, after all, a
        business enterprise....besides, the ultimate feature list
	takes time to deliver, right?  Any developer knows you can't
	give the user all that is wanted/needed in a first release,
	unless the scope of the project is very small and you have all
	the programmers you need to deliver the goods.  Even MS
	development is finite, so it's gonna take time to see
	full-featured Windows.
