If this rumour is accurate though, Microsoft has done itself a huge disservice by trying to spin this as a by-design feature rather than telling us <em>"Look, we know you want it, we want it, but we just couldn't pull it off in time - but we're making a commitment to do it as soon as we can."</em> Honesty is always better than trickery. This whole thing has made this a day I want to end soon (that photo above is how I feel right now).</p>
