I must agree. Saying "We're gonna release 0.3 as soon as we have TCP/IP 
networking reasonably complete" is much better than saying "We're gonna 
release 0.3  1st July 2005" - That's a nonsense, a MS-ish way of doing 
things.

Somebody pointed out that more frequent releases keep public interest in 
reactos - yes, that's true, but IMHO people will be at least 
disappointed by the fact that there's a release, say, every 3 months, 
but there's little or no visible progress between them. Don't 
misunderstand me - I know you guys are working hard, but unless this 
work produces some visible progress, there's no point in releasing 0.3. 
And the progress that is visible for you isn't necessarily visible for BFUs.
