thats rather cheap on Microsoft's part, considering last year they were
saying it would come out middle 2007
 
The date has changed but not the rest of the wording.
There was never a firm commitment from Microsoft with a specific date for
SP-3 or even if there will be a SP-3.

That's a perfect example of the point I was trying to make in my last
sentence quoted below. They *never* said that. They never promised anything.
They quoted a preliminarily planned date that was earlier than the current
preliminary plan. Their plans changed. All of our plans sometimes do,
whether we are big companies like Microsoft or just individual little
people.

That's the nature of preliminary plans and why they are different from
guarantees. If you have problems understanding the difference, you should
avoid reading about plans or asking about them. When it happens, it happens.

The next thing that will probably happen to you is that if Microsoft puts
back the preliminarily planned date again, you will complain again.
Remember, as I said below, even "first half of 2008" is not a guarantee, and
it's not a guarantee. It could happen later.

Unless people like you are willing to understand what words like
"preliminarily planned" mean, Microsoft would be well advised to tell us
nothing in advance.
