- We received our first copy through standard channels last week without
- harrassing Microsoft. It seems like a slow alphabetical process because
- a "B" person received one, but "G" and "L" have not yet. Microsoft Australia
- did have them some weeks ago, because we got a copy from the Sydney NT
- developer's conference in late November.
-
- I agree, though, that the delays are frustrating.
