Well I'm obviously of the 'glass half empty' school but I will be most disappointed if things happen as I (apparently) 'expect'. I raise the point in *hopes* of eliciting much much more than what the signals are suggesting.

To me one has to be more than an optimist to accept that "end of June release" meant RTM.
