With all due respect, that's not the issue. In that case, they could have just kept mum about the whole thing a little longer, until the FCs were closer to completion. Had they done that, no one would have been upset at all, because they wouldn't have known about it. I think people ought to be patient, especially with a company like Fractal since, A.) they're a small company, and B.) they're dedicated to keeping quality on everything high, but at the same time, I think you do owe it to your customers to make your products available on a reasonable timetable. Obviously "reasonable" leaves some room for interpretation, but I think part of being a professional in an industry like this is having your stuff together enough to plan a launch, announce a product, and make it available in a timely fashion. If it's not going to be ready for months, or worse, if you're not really sure when it's going to be ready, then you shouldn't announce it. It just makes it seem like you don't really have things together.
