Ok so the detective work was not 100% correct. If it was not for unforeseen circumstances then we should have had a release today

So why was there no release?

The only thing I found was from Andre Leibovici’s Blog

VMware uncovered some upgrade issues from View 3 to View 4 and the new unofficial date slipped to Monday 23/11. It also looks like the vSphere 4.0 Update 1 has also slipped to the same date.

Personally I would prefer the wait instead of having to deal with issues because of the new build.

It is ok, only a few more days to go.
