<Does "technology demonstration examples" imply production of K7 >

I would observe that this is a positive sign. Forward motion from the back room of Comdex has likely taken place. The description says to me to not spend a lot of time debugging the software if it crashes on a few things. I would say the the level of defects has been dropped from a long list to a few "show stoppers" as we call them where I work. I can believe that eight weeks after this point the chip could be free of "show stoppers" and pilot production will begin. This could be as soon as April 15 for pilot production the way I guess.
