I think we can safely say that at this stage all "when xxxx will be
released" comments are purely speculative and in my opinion it's far too
early to be asking questions like the one that sparked these two replies.
I prefer to wait for a public beta to come out so we can all use that and
get a feel for the product and make our own judgements based on what we see
on how near production it is.
and, no, in case anyone asks I have *no idea* as to in which century a
public beta will come out. (but I'm going for the 21st).
