Just in case some readers are misled by recent ranting rhetoric, here is my original statement vis-a-vis Skype and June 11:

I wouldn't bank on this date based on my own inside info.

Not saying it CAN'T happen... just doesn't look likely. Consider it a bonus if it does.

Now that we have reality out of the way, here's an excerpt from a post I left in another thread about massive (not possible to overstate that) organizational changes going in in Nokia:

The dust is supposed to settle July 1-- just as all of Finland goes into a 1-month Summer hibernation from work. I have no doubt that the next few weeks will see a huge push to get stuff out before that shutdown-- Skype may even be one of them, despite my doubts.

I'm sure the functionally literate here can put two and two together to arrive at four. IF Skype is delivered next week, it will be because there is a huge concerted effort (as is typical of Nokia Finland in June) to get everything out before mass vacation. My concern therefore, as others have expressed, is software quality. To that end, I'd rather the release occur in August if need be.

We'll see. And no, I won't be embarrased at all June 11 if Skype is out. Anyone coming to such a nonsensical conclusion has obviously grossly misinterpreted my short and simple comments (above) on the matter.
