Live Spaces

Does ANYONE have a release date for Windows Live Spaces? First date of July
15th has come and gone with nary a word. Now on the blogosphere, I'm reading
all sorts of dates from July 27th, to July 31st, and as far out as September.

What's disturbing, is that over the past few days I've only been able to
access my Spaces page very sporadically. If in fact the "delay" is extended
much longer, people will surely "jump ship" since they won't be able to
access their Spaces page regardless of how "cool" the new Live Spaces is.

If anyone has ANY information on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
