It's so funny to me how ED works with a 6 month thing. For a "true" promise date, add 6 months to what they say to get closer to what it will REALLY be. Expect a patch for this product 6 months after release, despite that they "think" it will be ready in about a month.
In Lomac's history, the only time that I can think of that it didn't go down like this was 1.01, and I'm assuming that it was Ubi who was pushing them for it. Personally, even though 1.01 had alot of problems, I was pleased with the speed it came out and thought it was much better than 1.0. But then of course we had the 6 month wait for 1.02 . . .
