It's not really bad news. Putting out a half-working and sluggish product just when everyone is looking your way and all your users are frustrated isn't _that_ good a move :)
Maybe it's time to start marketing a Linux-2000 as soon as 2.2 is out...

This makes MS look even more like the evil moguls America had in the start of the century. Having a bad (ie: even more sluggish and instable) product shoved down your throat, just when you are fed up with the non-reliability of '95 is the last thing consumers want. '98 might just be the best opportunity other OS vendors have had for years...
