Just curious to know whether you've already set an approximate date for releasing the final 9.1 (out of Beta).
Are we talking about weeks or months?
Thank you :)

It's too soon to say for certain. More than two weeks. Less than 4 months.
It depends now on whether we add anything new or just fix bugs.

tsk tsk,
not the kind of talk I lilke to hear.
A product should come out of beta ONLY when it's fully ready to - that's MS's biggest problem - they set release dates then have to release windows before it's fully ready and so thats why first builds always have the most bugs.
Product should be ready whenever it's ready - whats the rush for a 'final' build?

Um, maybe profit? Accounts receivable? Payroll? It's easy for us to sit here and throw stones when it's not our livelihoods that are at stake. Just a thought. ;)

How true, how true.

I have no problems with them making a profit :)
They deserve it, look at the toy we're playing with :)

It's all in how you define "rush". In the bad sense, it means "rush the product out the door on a firm deadline, bad user and media reviews be d4mned". In the good sense, of course, it means "rush to a point where we have a very solid product".
Big difference. I think the bottom line is best served by the latter approach, but what do I know? :-X
