My personal opinion is simply this: MOS up until this point has been free. I have not paid a cent towards development and nobody (least of all anyone from the MOS team) has made me any promises. I am greatful for whatever updates/information whenever they're made available and respect their choice to keep MOS 2 somewhat in the dark.

Now, once I *PAY* the proposed new cost of MOS2 (poll suggests approx. $50?) THEN I will expect more information/release-dates/feature lists/promt bug-fixes/etc/etc

this might be something the MOS should consider before actually charging for MOS. I'm happy to pay for MOS 2 but once you decide to charge; it becomes a PRODUCT and we will expect certain things in return. Of course, I think from most of us there will always be the understanding that the MOS-Team is small and underfunded (even with our $50 MOS 2 payments) but there will still be justified demands for more information/prompt bug fixes, etc
