I'm not saying that we should ignore the plight of people working in less than subpar conditions to give us our new device fix, but what does the latter part have to do with a faulty release product? Early adopter is a misnomer, because these are not prototypes nor dev boxes. This are released to the public computers that should be in working order. I'm not big on new hardware, so I don't follow releases like this too closely. However, this seems to be one of the worst consumer hardware releases in recent history.
