Re: "Finished product could be from 3 weeks to two months after tape out"

Right, but for the benefit of those who work in the software industry (i.e. who might incorrectly confuse "finished product" with RTM, FCS, Final Production Quality Release, or Golden Master), I would just add/clarify, in the chip world, "finished product" doesn't mean it's done. Finished product, as PB uses it, would mean the "product sample" is done. Debug comes next, followed by several steppings of tape outs.
