Let's not forget that we are all getting this particular product free of
charge, though.

        It's easy to forget, sometimes--but remember that behind the image of
a large company it really comes down to a lot of individuals working very hard
on System Software development.  If it could have been released now, it would
have--they don't like delaying it any more than you do.
