Patience... Not a quality often seen here

But if companies want to avoid the "what's the problem?' backlash from delayed releases (or. probably more to the truth, overly optimistic release dates from the Marketing Divisions), they might start to wait until a product is nearly finished before announcing it....
As much horse trading and arranger hopping as goes on in this forum, they shouldn't really worry that a potential customer got something else in the meantime - they will surely sell it in a flash and get their new product when it hits the shelves.
IF.... it lives up to the hype...
