Imagine buying a new car that promises 40mpg. You get it home and notice that the best mileage that your getting is around 20mpg. You complain to the company and they say that some day you will receive a fully functioning 40mpg car, but you'll have to wait untill they get around to it. They might make a couple different cars first, your just going to have wait. Someday, after your new product has lost a bunch of it's value and years have past, and after many newer cars are out; then we'll get around to fixing your machine up to what you were promised when it was sold to you.
