I have a message from May 13 which says:

The Solution Core Release (SCR) for new customers was to begin May 8 for 
s800 and June 11 for s300/400.  VAB update shipments of SCR was to begin 
May 13 for s800 and June 18 for s300/400.  The Application Release (AR)
for new customers is supposed to begin July 2 for s800 and July 11
of s300/400.  The AR Trade Update is supposed to begin July 9 for s800
and July 18 for s300/400.

The SCR releases, as I understand them, consist of the minimum 
functionality to ship to customers.  The AR releases will have 
significant quality improvements.  This is *not* official HP 
information.
