And now you see why most companies won't commit to a release date unless they have a specific schedule, and even then they often don't announce. We know people want it, and we want to get it out. We have several things we want to do with it for the '08 compatible release, and we've got a lot of other things going on, so things tend to slip when that happens. For those reasons I won't give any time suggestion - I'll simply repeat that we know people want it and it's certainly one of our goals to get it out as soon as feasible with the quality we think people deserve.
