RE: How do I document vaporware?

["Sarah Stegall" <sstegall -at- bivio -dot- net>]

Alas, no, we have no legal department. About the best I can do is to
remonstrate with my boss, the head of software development. I don't know
that that will help much; he doesn't think this is a problem.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Lots of good suggestions here.

Does your company have a legal department? Can you ask 
them to come up with a wording that protects the company 
if a customer sues them over 'promised' features that aren't 
delivered or that work differently than advertised?
