It's been given many times:

- Still no usable networking for users
- Blocker bugs
- No big features (since networking/basic pnp are still not working)
- Confusion and dillution for users. Our releases start becoming 
meaningless.

When users will be able to install networking seamlessly (meaning we 
will support the big chipsets and basic PnP detection) and configure 
their IP address and other settings through the CPL instead of editing 
weird hexadecimal numbers in the registry.
