Noone was critiquing how long OS4 took to come out. What was being critiqued was the overoptimism of the developers, the management, and the general staff involved. An OS is a complex beast, and it takes a lot of work to do even rudementary upgrades to one. (look at what the "bug-fixes" for Windows 95 took, they ended up being named Windows 98) What was also being critiqued was the fact that whenever someone stepped up to poke holes in the obvious over-optimism, they were attacked, flamed, trolled, etc.

Now that OS4 has reached public beta, and we look at the long road, noone will begrudge the length of time, nor the determination it took to reach here. For that dogfastness, the OS4 team deserves a measure of success.
