This is not really newsworthy but I can assure all of you that OS 4 development is proceeding nicely.
Nearly all of the functionality described in the feature-list has now been implemented.
A team of 60+ people has been beta-testing and localising since quite some time and the number of outstanding bugs in Bugzilla has been going down steadily.
It's however very hard to estimate exactly when OS 4 will hit end-users because we are committed to delivering a bug-free product but the idea that it won't be ready before the end of the year is completely off the mark.
The worst (in development terms) is now behind us.
