I've been waiting a long time too, but as a software developer, I can appreciate the amount of work that is probably going into the product. The management has learned a good lesson by no longer stating a deadline (next week / two weeks). We'd all like to see 4.05 (and 4.1) tomorrow, but I'd rather see it work and be thoroughly debugged. That's what I try to do with the projects I do for clients – I insist on rigorous testing with a written test plan to make sure that from release to release, adding new things didn't break old ones. It sounds from the way Chuck is talking, this is now the approach their development team is taking (hope, hope). I do have a project that has been in the can for a year waiting for the functional software, but it's my project and my dime so I'll be patient. The Flyer does not (yet) impact my livelyhood, and I have successfully completed two minor projects for clients using the Flyer.
