Yeah, I'll believe that 2010 release when I see it on the shelf.

The only things worse than Valve Time are 3D Realms time (Read: Never) and Blizzard Time.

Reminder: Still no LAN play.

although anger over that will likely be as effective as the MW2 boycott.

Because of the BattleNet overhaul, and how the new services will work, you will need to be able to log into your BNet acct to play. This doesn't mean you won't be able to play agains your buds in the same room, it just means they'll all need BNet accounts with a SC2 license.
It's sort of like Steam, or XBox Live.
The tradeoff is things like the new BNet friends/chat client across games and servers and acheivements.
Now, if Blizzz is smart, they'll take a page from the orignal SC 'spawn' copies. Friend buys SC2, you install it and create a BNet acct, and the two of you can play against each other via BNet, but you can't play anyone else till you get your own license.

I never played Starcraft over LAN so w/e. User generated co-op maps for the win.

Grendlash, I don't think you understand why people want LAN if your reasoning is that it's still there, but "you only need to be connected to the BattleNet and host a server through that to do so".

That isn't LAN AT ALL.

These always encounter delay after delay... but in the end it's all worth it.

This looks like it will be an amazing RTS! Now I just need to wait and see if my laptop supports it.
