All I can speculate on is that it has been a matter of Fred R. having set some arbitrary deadlines to try and keep everyone focused. Then, as with most arbitrary deadlines, things get delayed. Probably for good reasons, but, to the frustration of all involved.

If having a one month delay means getting it right out-of-the-box, I'll take that over hitting an arbitrary deadline for the sake of doing so. How many times has Microsoft slipped a deadline?
