Hi all,
at this moment our astaro dealer called to me and said :
the official release date is 22.January.2007 and you can get the first training in febuary.
So it seems that gold code is not far away.

Price goes up January 22nd. This is what makes us think that is the release date. I know of no drop dead date.
I agree, it's very unfortunate as this company has promise. For home environments I'm fine with Astaro but until they can get their QA working I won't use it in a business environment. [:(]
Are you talking about V7 specifically? I've got Astaro appliances running in quite a few sites, using quite a bit of different configurations, and we've had very very few problems with it.
We'll most likely put V7 into production just about as soon as it becomes available on an appliance because a customer needs some of the stuff it delivers.
January 22nd is what we've been informed of us a release date.
At some point, you have to give birth, call it a product, and see how it does. Personally, I've always believed that until you get out there and see how the thing does in the field (regardless of product), then you don't know anything.
and yeah, we'll be moving some forward, including ourselves. Blood and all, if that's what happens.
the bug list seems way too big for a January release. Maybe they have most of the bugs "fixed" and just are too afraid to present another beta release in fear of more bugs. Maybe the approach is just to throw it out there and then release a gazillion hotfixes.
I do think it is a promising product, but I really dont think that January release would bring good PR.
