Personally, I'm at least as intrigued by the IOS replacement as by the
high-speed hardware -- when will that percolate to the rest of the
product line? As with any major new software product, it will probably
be less reliable at first, but -- given the design goals -- quite
likely much more reliable in the not tremendously distant future.
