Rev and the Web

I can certainly understand that a company wants control of their  
message both in terms of content and timing. Look at MS as a great  
company that doesn't control it as much as they wish (witness some of  
the Longhorn videos on Utoob or the Gates announcement of the next  
Windows generation coming out next Summer?). So much can be  
misinterpreted, etc., especially when we are talking about paradigm  
changes like the plugin could be.

But having said (written?) that, the conference is just as binding/ 
public a channel of announcement (outside of the NDA session) as  
websites, press releases, etc. I know that personally as I have stuck  
my size 11's in my mouth quite a few times in previous incarnations by  
saying something in conferences that I felt was mainly intended for  
the audience in the room.

I doubt that Lynn is not honestly reporting what he heard at RevRun  
and doubt that Mark is not honestly trying to manage  expectations for  
the new features so Revrun doesn't disappoint us.

What we do need to hear is something more substantive than the  
newsletter/webpage because nature and Revrunners hate a vacuum. Lynn  
is obviously tremendously excited which makes me very very interested!
