NB for Win release date?

In an idle post-tax moment it's just dawned on me that the NB folks
might be able to do themselves, and many users, a favor, if the
new Windows version can at least be ordered relatively soon.

Is it not the case that many US universities start their fiscal year
July 1? (US only?) Mine does, anyway, and in June there's often a push to
spend leftover money before the old fiscal year runs out. Past July 1, or
even just too close to it in June (forms must be shuffled), and the brief
window
of opportunity is all but closed for eleven more months.

I'll zap NB headquarters about this. If others find themselves in a similar
situation, it might help to do the same, no?

Happy spring to all in this hemisphere,

  -----------------

    This is an EXCELLENT point -- there is every reason for Dragonfly to act.
People -- including the Department Chair -- have asked repeatedly about NB for
WIN.  I must admit that I don't expect much, though, and in the meantime people
are opting for other programs -- especially askSam 3,0 Professional --  at a
steady pace.
