No, it's not. It's *lack of an answer*. Ever hear the term "vaporware"?

Look, Apple is projecting new Intel-based hardware Macs mid-2006. Webroot is
saying they'll have a bug fix for the new SpySweeper Enterprise Edition
sometime next week. These are called "projections". I don't expect them to
stick to the timetable like glue. Webroot could run into a problem and delay
the release another couple of weeks to fix it... Apple could have Intel
hardware ready to roll by March -- or maybe it ends up being September...
it's flexible because they're *estimates*.

I just looked up a press release -- Microsoft released WM5 to manufacturers
on May 10. So it's been out for six months at this point. If not enough time
for a WM5-compatible release, it's certainly been long enough for a
*projection* of a release date.

Silence -- on the other hand -- is not an acceptable substitute.
