Dennis, I'd say you're 100% accurate.  I'm sure some folks were working 
on various things, mostly in isolation.  I can say that several of the 
things I was working on last week (though I don't work on Indiana, just 
keep an eye on what's going on) are in a bit of a holding pattern 
because people I was working with are spending time with family, etc.  
It doesn't mean I'm not working, but it does reduce the likelyhood that 
I'll send messages out to a mailing list that I don't think many are 
watching.  :)

As long time readers of this list know, many engineers 'pulled out all 
of the stops' to get the developer preview out in October.  The least we 
could do is give folks time to spend the holidays with family/friends 
without assuming the worst, right?
