Marketing FAQ bad, Technical FAQ good :) We know we have to let the marketing people have their say first so they can justify those nice new Mercedes in the marketing car cark </cynical>
Now to the stuff that actually means something hehehe! Thanks for cutting to the facts that we really wanna know about, I look forward to reading all about the under the hood HEMI's ya put in there.

No, not yet. I'm hoping to put together a "technical FAQ" as opposed to the currently existing "marketing FAQ" type of documents we have. My idea is that I've been answering the same questions for a while now (tech support, sales engineers, those we NDA'd early on, etc.) and so I'm putting together a list of the more technical nitty-gritty kind of items like you're asking for. I'll leave the "what's it gonna cost?", "what are my upgrade options?", "can I have a high-level feature list?" questions for elsewhere, I want to help folks like y'all that want more detailed _functional_ information. I'm meeting with a few folks later this week to see what questions/issues come up and where we can best address those (tech note? DevNet article? other?). So the direct answer to your question is no, we don't. The follow-up is that you're now helping populate my FAQ sheet for others to read from, thanks! Keep the questions coming if you have more, I certainly don't mind answering whatever springs to mind as I'm *amped* about this release (and I really couldn't say that about Dir MX). Note: we're also hoping to put together a list of bug fixes (XML memory leak, embedded fonts on user restricted systems, dot-syntax with field cast members and user installed menus, etc.). That's on top of some hoped-for DevNet articles about the details of JS syntax usage in Director. Oh for another few hours each day...
