Well, I do not think there are many left with any big believes so there will
be no real onslaught.
On the other hand, maybe. If your opinion is that a bug correction like SP6,
coming out earliest in "end of fall" is a very positive piece of news, then
you may feel that comments about that is an onslaught.
Buying an expensive piece of software like ts2000, not getting it corrected
for so long time, still not getting it corrected _EARLIER_ than end of fall,
is quite bad behaviour from a company towards its customers. Especially if
you combine that with the knowledge that the new product is correcting some
of the stuff that was supposed to work in ts2000, at the same time as stuff
that did work in ts2000 no longer is available, and that their tradition has
been to do so in all times.
