i'd hesitate to call it 'nasty', honestly. after all, nothing is set in stone until the product ships. many remember the 500MHz fiasco with the PowerMac towers. Apple shipped the 500MHz G4's and subsequently had to rev them down to 450MHz, after they'd already shipped the 500MHz. there's two ways of going about some problems: "Ship! Ship! We'll iron out the bugs after people have them in their hands..." or "Oh crap, the 2x burner isn't up to snuff. Let's go back to 1x and work on the 2x some more."
