I always worry that delay in a new version means that the developers are waiting for commonly-available hardware to catch up with the demands of the software. I, too, saw the beta at the June conference, and obviously it seemed to be running with the hardware there, but I don't know how fast or how much RAM those banks of PCs and Macs had.
