The way I look at it, it took Sony ten years to develop the PS1, and the PS2 was several years in the making beyond the PS1. I felt it was foolhearty at best to even expect what is essentially a complete rewrite of an OS to be done before many would lose patience and start in about how long it's taking. The sooner it's finished, the more likely it'll fail to live up to its billing. Badgering Hyperion into releasing it before its ready can only have a negative impact on what you'll end up with at your desk.
I've got a PC. I have it because it's the computer I need, not the computer I want. Like most, I'll buy the one I want as soon as it's available.
