:: Good question. Ask yourself: why DID you discuss it? I am surprised that someone has not shoved a keyboard up your ass because of those CAPS. I only made a comment about what position it places me in relative. If you do your maths, you will find that I still have ample of time before July to get my budget up again - it is not like I am dedicating all my money to Whidbey; merely, I am budgeting*. * - Take not that I strongly recomend that you understand the meaning of "budget". It is best advised that you consult the English dictionary. :: chances are extreme you wont see anything before October/November next year I am sure that I read that they wanted to release Whidbey in Spring (northern hemisphere). I found that somewhere over here, on this site... but I could be thinking of something else. I would look for it but :: MS means when they say "2nd Half". You are not Microsoft are you? I do not think so... not in a million years. BTW, I think you should look up the meaning "professional". It is one thing knowing what its definition is but it is another thing understanding the meaning.
