I personally don't think Win32 is enough of a new feature either, but others disagree.
Jan, correct me if I'm wrong ... Jan's point is that we have enough already to warrant a beta on June 1st, even without Win32 ... Win32 (or any of the other stuff, like PITR/tablespaces) would be icing on the cake ...
I agree that we don't have many of the "big marketing bang for the buck"
features done for 7.5. But that is no reason to use wordings like "nifty
enhancements" or "for a small percentage" in an attempt to make what we have look uninteresting for the average user so that it looks wise to wait, and wait, and wait. Just that someone doesn't understand the importance of these issues because he doesn't deal with the type of customer that values a good standard deviation on response times doesn't make Win32 more important. Judging by those standards, we probably shouldn't have had 7.4 at all, and we probably shouldn't claim that we want to attract typical Oracle users either.
