Nobody argues that point. The problem is announcing a ship date that
you can't possibly meet in order to manipulate the market. How many
of those software subscription licenses do you think they would have
sold if they said that they had no idea how long it would be until
the next version was ready?
Also, what is left in the new version bears little resemblance to
what was announced. Except for the eye candy, most of the truly
revolutionary changes were shelved. They aren't getting it right;
they're just not doing it at all.
