I know Amazon, among other vendors, had it listed for sale long before
publication (maybe January or February), and I pre-ordered it. Then, of
course, Amazon, doubtless with access to all my banking information via
the insidious Microsoft Corporation, who themselves aren't supposed to
know, but almost certainly do, waited until my financial straits were
lowest before shipping... ;  )
