Actually, we HAVE participated in the Early Ship program. We haven't for
V5, but we've done V5 compatibility testing on other systems, mostly
courtesy of IBM, and my guess is that we'll be getting a V5 box for other
projects (but that will be available for testing our already-established
products) sometime this year.

And if a vendor actually NEEDS the latest hardware and OS in order to be
confident of COMPATIBILITY with the latest hardware and OS, that kind of
suggests that the vendor's products use a lot of hacks.
