the way i was looking at it is longhorn must be horrible if the 
marketing has to get this much of a running start on reviews before 
the actual scheduled release(was it 2006?).  if you heard there was a 
movie/game/tech that had marketing running for 3 years before 
release, wouldn't that be a sign of major suckage to you too?
