anyone has mentioned this, but the reason why you're not<br>supposed to mention what will be in future versions is for legal<br>reasons. You should not make forward-looking statements because the<br>company could be held legally responsible for them. And since none of us<br>can guarantee what the future holds, it behooves the company to state<br>only what it can legally prove about its product. That being said, if<br>you wanted to make assertions about future features, you could include a<br>forward-looking disclaimer. See the Wikipedia article on this at<br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-looking_statement" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-looking_statement</a>.<br><br>Perhaps pointing this out to your managers would allow them to rethink<br>this one.<br><br>Lea Galanter<br>Technical Editor<br>Seattle, WA<br><br><br>Confidentiality Notice:<br><br>This email and any attachments are confidential and meant solely for the
