In any case, people have a right to be upset when a company makes promises and then doesn't fulfill them and switches things at the very last minute with no warning. Some people were making plans whether to stay or go based on that June release date, and it's not at all cool how they handled it, especially since they probably knew that they were slipping a lot sooner than they told us. You don't just figure out that you're going to miss a release date by 3 months at the last minute... they should have known that by May at the latest. This whole "don't-complain-and-just-take-it-or-leave-it" attitude that some people on this board are suggesting we adopt is a bunch of garbage. I would have probably gone somewhere else about 6 months ago if I had known it was going to take this long, but because they kept us hanging on until the last minute in June, I didn't do that and as a result I am still waiting, as are a number of other people. You might want to go back and check how some of the customer service reps on this site were saying in the middle of June "yep, we're still on track, beta will be out in two weeks". That is the type of thing that got people upset.
In any case, let's give them credit as I said for fixing their communication over the past few months, as it is a lot better now. Most of my complaints have to do with the past, not with the way that things have been handled in recent times.
