VaporWare is anything annouced but not yet shipped.  Hence Wingz is definitly
vaporware.  It doesn't matter whether they've slipped a delivery date or not.
And it's the worst sort of vaporware, a company's first product.  You have
no idead whether or  not they will ship on time or a year late or whether
they'll go out of business before they ship.  That is what is wrong with
vaporware annoucments.  It's the old IBM ploy of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and
Doubt).
