3rdandking,

I got pretty much the same thing out of it you did. I can however answer your question below:

"3) Wouldn't everyone benefit by postponing all work on classic and deluxe seasons and focus available time and resources on V10 first? This would be a benefit to every PC customer and the on-line games, and make the playing of past seasons that much more enjoyable"

The people doing the large majority of the work on the season disks have nothing to do with the programming of the actual game. Plus seeing that I would think it would still take at least a year to release at the bare minimum, the season disks can be released in the meanwhile.
