That's very commendable, Lynda. I've always believed that if we (developers) had the time and the financial wherewithal to do community work we could make a big, big impact. Kudos to you for being able to follow your conscience.

OTOH, please understand that on my side, I don't know what the specific availability date is. It's out of our hands. We can "guesstimate" based on RTM date. And also please note that no one is being treated as "second class citizens". When it becomes commercially available, it'll be available to all.

Keep up the good deeds :-)

>We don't all share your perspective or your business plan. I don't need/want another OS at the moment, or a new version of Office either. I already have newer versions of all of these than most of my clients will see for several years to come. Most of them are minority-owned small businesses and non-profits; many are struggling to get started or to stay afloat. I recently abandoned 60+ hour work weeks, a 6 figure income, and MSDN Universal, in order to do the work I love for people I enjoy and for whom my efforts can make a real contribution to their success. These customers are actually accustomed to being treated as second class citizens in the business community; I guess I'm the one having difficulty adjusting.
