Re:in the meantime... (Score 1)

Thats exactly what has been going through my mind reading all of this and especially after reading the referenced blog. This conjures images of the W95 release, people lined up at Wal-Mart like the heayday of cabbage patch dolls. Did the bulk of that population have any idea WHY they were replacing their Windows 3.11 with W95? I find it unlikely. There really wasn't anything developed initially that REQUIRED it (though I must admit, the necessity factor grew at a BLISTERING pace) I myself went from 3.11 to NT4.0, two of the greatest products that MS ever released (qualifier:IMHO). Will the product be released to the masses in a whirlwind release tour with concerts and special guest's, or will it quietly assimilate us through XP attrition?
