MS can do the talk bat CANNOT walk the walk
``Microsoft sees its near-term future as a series of "waves" of software that are key to its growth over the next couple of years. But with those waves slow to reach shore, the company--and its customers--may feel like they're caught in a riptide.

For months, Microsoft has talked about a "Yukon" wave of products that would hit this year and a "Longhorn" wave that would follow a year or two later. The first wave is tied to the next version of SQL Server, known as Yukon, as well as to updated developer tools, known as Whidbey.''

That's COMMON MS practice: kepp bombarding the masses with advertisements for the next super dooper features, applications, etc.

As USUAL the products show up YEARS later and even after they do they NOWHERE NEAR what they were advertised to be.

Ocourse people are free to spent their money and resources anyway they it pleases them, but now we are at very financially tight times, and the waste will NOT go unpunished.

Ocourse this a decent opportunity for alternatives to step up and prove what is their real worth.
