Hi Phil,

Microsoft has targeted 2 year cycles for Office and Windows for many 
years. But the future is always a moving target. By those standards 
Vista was more than 4 years late.

I think the most realistic way to phrase it is that a timetable will be 
developed internally based on guesstimates as to how long it will take 
to build a new VBA compiler.

Combine that with any new features that might be being planned for the 
next version and however long those will take and hopefully you'll 
realize that coming up with any sort of a firm date is nearly impossible.

Plan, build, test, deploy. Each of those steps takes an indeterminate 
amount of time. Deciding when software is "done" is akin to deciding 
when a cake is done. When it smells good and tastes good it's ready.
