Well I reckon if its going to be a "big one" with all the changes such as 64 bit and GUI changes that a lot of people have been asking for, I think we will have an early release, and a lot of happy people.
If on the the other hand things remain the same with biab with 50 extra features and the usual upgrade of realtracks and other things, then maybe it will be a late release, it will be getting nearer to Christmas and people won't have time to be unhappy, and will treat themselves to the upgrade anyways!
Of course you can consume the above with a large pinch of salt!
