The answer to both questions is the same: when Microsoft deems that
they are ready. No promises have been made.

That said, both are widely expected to be fairly soon. I expect to see
both within the next few months.

But I wouldn't recommend betting the farm on it.

I would rather wait for this then to get something that would totally hose

Certainly I would rather wait. Did I say anything that led you believe
otherwise?

OK, but unless it's your intention to confuse the readers here, please
be more careful in the future to reply to the correct person's

I agree! I would also wait for a SP that needs no more updates!
