I think things are in a pretty good state myself, but it is also clear that whatever has been specified as required by the management isn't there yet and that is a major reason for the delay. > The only way that the Marketing folks know that software is done is when > the QA/QC folks tell them that it is done now.

There are certainly more steps from finished code changes to the release than there used to be during more fly-by-night days of slimserver. Complaints will always be. If it's a non-leaked immediate release, recent buyers are livid that they weren't warned. If there is no talk of release, posters start complaining that the product line isn't active enough. If devs are spending their time posting, people complain code isn't moving fast enough, etc. In nearly all cases, there will be one or two who will take it to extreme hyperbole. As an interesting aside, I saw an article about the Boeing 787. You know, it's over two years late and I bet that one bit of info could be used as fodder for either side of the complaints (I'm kinda liking that they are taking their time making sure the wings actually stay attached :) -k _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
