Hi Axel, It could encourage people to keep track of haiku after releasing R1 when it will be complemented with a link to a kind of a roadmap for the next updates/releases (R1.2 or R2 or maybe both or more ;o)) on the haiku website. Remember that Microsoft (it't commercial and we know it's track record on releasedates and it features or lack of regarding it's roadmap :)), is constantly keeping peoples eyes towards their products because of the amount of "news" about them. Just telling this for concideration not to attack anyone here!!! Greets, Rob Tijssen
