Then they should have kept it internal until they were ready to commit. People spent money with them as a result of that commitment, and it may not have been a large part of their customer base, but it is exactly the people they courted with the public statement. They wanted to make the announcement to reap the PR benefits, so now they need to follow through and deliver.

Nothing really happens because Linux doesn't have the market share to demand better, and I never said that wasn't the case. My point is that they shouldn't have put themselves in this position, not that we have any power to make them follow through.
