I kinda agree... I'm looking forward to my freerunner, but I want to buy it knowing that the hardware is ok, and that the software will have a few bumps as always, but if it doesn't work today, it will be fixed sometime in the future.

I want to play around and develop for the freerunner, but I don't want an expensive paperweight to keep on my desk, I want to use it daily and have it with me everywhere!

Yup. And if we've all been patiently waiting for *quite* a while, it
was to get out hands on *Stable Hardware(tm)* and handle half finished
software ourselves. Heck, what happened to that requirement in the
meantime ?

The worst part is, early adopters (devs and such) will be ONCE AGAIN
getting bugged hardware.

I've preordered on Trisoft at the beginning of the week, shall I
cancel ? do we know what board we will get ?
