An Alternate Strategy?

[kendo65]

Strike, there is slightly different issue here I think - there is always a judgement to be made about how near you are to completion of the plan and whether it is worthwhile to go to all the hassle of reconfiguring everything.

To make that call you need to have some idea (or take a guess!) of how long either option is going to take. If you're always making the judgement that you're 'nearly there' then there never seems to be a good reason to change course.

It's only with hindsight that you realise you've spent 3 months convinced you were 'nearly there' - and there is STILL no way of knowing whether NOW you are 'nearly there' or it will take another 2 months?!?

For this reason alone I don't think we'll see them issue an interim patch. I just hope that they make the progress they need on the graphics soon enough.
