The problem is that some people (cynically?) think any unreleased product is vapor. Historically, it isn't so. Vaporware is really inteded for stuff that never had any substance. Products that miss the release or are being promoted to early that they only exist on presentation charts...
Just so you know, you are in good company as a lot of those same folks would call Windows 7 and OSX Snow Leopard vaporware.
In my book, any product in actual production with a near term release date is not and cannot be vapor.
But of course, the "beauty" of the internet (and USENET before it) is anybody can make up their own definitions.
I just don't like to see a developer/vendor getting griefed for trying to establish a conversation with actual/potential customers. Especially at a time when a lot of their counterparts are setting up iron curtains of silence...
Just shrug it off.
