Often related to something like Microsoft announcing that they writing a new package years before it ships to confuse the market and keep them from buying a competitors [probably superior] product in the meantime. They will also announce a huge and rich feature set only to throw out half of it before it ships. In the meantime it allows the vaporware product to take marketshare away from competitors who can't really compete against something that doesn't exist yet. Does the ~2 years of hype before Win95 shipped ring a bell? How about the ~2 years it'll take from the time of announcement before Win97, oh wait, I mean Win98 ships? ============================================================================ ==== Help crack RC5 64-bit encryption -- http://www.distributed.net/rc5 ==== ============================================================================
