The Performance Upgrade will address the issues our customers are having, along with making the system easier to use.
While I appreciate the response, it doesn't tell me anything. What issues in particular. Why can't we get a change log that shows all the issues that were addressed? And why wouldn't they release information about whether the underlying technologies were changed (flash vs. silverlight, etc)?
All I'm getting from the press releases is "It's faster, and it looks pretty", but that doesn't say anything.
