Well I could read this two ways. Either, that releases will look like what we see now but QA between releases with get cut down a little to pick up the speed on the releases. Or I can read it that they are changing the structure of the consumer releases somewhat, with less focus on binary compatibility through 3 or even 4 releases...no 7.0-7.3 releases..but being more agressive about pushing things forward at the sake of losing some backwards compatibility...maybe just a .0 and .1 release before moving on to roll up a new .0 with new tech. -jef"either way its gonna be interesting how the price points in the enterprise offerings play in the marketplace"spaleta
