unfortunatly... leaks are like little old women sittin around at bingo... tryin to see what story would come up soundign beefier... not knckin your source.. but everytime i get my hopes up on a rumor.. well.. i get dissapointed... and if 8 wer ein the making... it wouldnt be till late 2004-2005 till it was out... if its anything liek the beta of 7.0 there will be months of testing. but why would they publicly say WE are making a 7.01 if they are working on a 8.0... they made a 6.01 1 year after 6 was released, correctign some errors they nvr caught. that was in.. like..2000? sumthing like that. all i have to say is theyd better not start spitting version out Like FLIPPING AOL does... there are only a few of us left that actually pay for software nowadays... theyd better not start puttin out 200-400$ upgrades every 18 months... grrr lol
