I REALLY dig all that remote stuff. Aside from being genuinely useful, I can totally see people going "ooooo" when I show it off to them.
At least now we have a rough date. The internal release date has apparently been sort-of confirmed by multiple sources as the 17th for a while. As many have pointed out, that's a Friday, and an unlikely day for the public release of new software as it could conceivably tie up support staff all weekend. The following Monday (the 20th) is a holiday in Ontario, so it would seem that Tuesday, the 21st, is gonna be it!
