on the "Horizon" i think means close.
I still stick with my assessment.
When we are talking about a multi year project, 2,3,4,5 weeks is still close or on the Horizon in my mind.
Great if its released end of Feb, I don't think it will be. And it would be awesome if I'm wrong. But i still get the sense that end of March would be more realistic. Maybe the person in question uses terminology in "Days", "Weeks" and "Months" rather then using a full scale of:
"Hour", "Hours", "Day", "Days", "Week", "Weeks", "Month", "Months", etc...
Then in the first case if his next interval is "Months" then "Weeks" would imply up to 8 weeks.
I just think people might be reading a little too much in the word "Weeks" . I think in the end it means soon, regardless if its 1 week, 4 weeks, or 10 weeks, that still all good news when it comes.
