Any rough estimates on a release or would we be talking about several years? Is there any guarantee that there will be an A7??
I can't guarantee something like that even if I wanted to (engine releases are outside my control) but, given what has been said in public from JCL and our past marketing, I would say there is an excellent chance that we will release a sequel to A6. It may be called A7 or "Wizo3000"  , but there is still a lot of things we can add to our product to warrant a new release.
I'm even less qualified to give you a release date, even the roughest one. Using the A5 to A6 update as a reference (again, I'm not disclosing anything here you couldn't look up yourself) we have *at least* one more A6 update release (2-4 months), maybe more, then we would have to begin work on A6+1 (6 months to 2 years depending on the features). So I can honestly say the release date could be the end of this year, sometime in 2006, or even 2007.
Keep checking the beta link, when you start seeing features labeled for A7 (or Wizo3000 ) then you can start guessing the release date. But, right now, A6 has a lot of life left in it.
BTW: Anybody who quotes me as saying "A7 will be released on <insert date>" based on this post will be sent to their room without dinner.
