 >> In Business-Speak .... when a company says "We will NEVER ..." or "We
have NO INTENTION ..." ... that means THEY _WILL_.

Or sometimes, as was the case for MS with OS/2 "We will port our
applications to OS/2 when it reaches a million licenses" means "We'll port
to OS/2 over Bill Gates' dead body".
