Why can't Apple simply post the system on apple.com (if that's gonna
happen, fine, no nasty flames please, just e-mail)?  Second, why not
make a simple HC stack to explain all new features (same disclaimer
applies)?  

I hate dealing with dealers.  They know nothing and profess to know
everything.  I'm sure I'll get it either way, and I doubt I'm going
to have that many problems figuring out the new features, as the
"net" will be buzzing with messages about these features after the
release.  Anyways, if my suggestions aren't going to happen here's
some things to think about:

1)  People who need the manuals will buy them.  
2)  The wider the distribution of 7.0, the faster bugs will be
corrected.
3)  Dealers suck.
4)  Anybody who is hip(square) enough to follow a bbs on rn is going
to be clever enough to get what they need anyways, so why not make
it easier.
