don't look at it as a punishment, just a limit on your reward. :) The reward is getting access to the release early. You got that, you don't get absolutely everything. Yet. :) The 4.1 infrastructure isn't in place yet. Unless you really know what you are doing, you really shouldn't be running 4.1-release yet in mission critical applications, as it is unsupported code. That will change on May 1... Nick.
