I like it.

Only one nitpick. In the features section, we twice say the feature is for 8.1. That seems implied to me. I recommend dropping the clause "for 8.1" in "the buffer manager for 8.1 has..." and "in version 8.1," in "in version 8.1, the query planner is ..."

Other than that, thumbs up from me.

Folks,

There's a 4th draft up. I made the following changes:

-- I replaced the technical summary in the first paragraph with a "business
summary", explaining what the new features *mean* to Joe User. This was
on the advice of GreenPlum's public relations staff.

-- Moved a sentence from the 2nd P to the 1st P

-- Replaced Lance's quote.

Given that time is short, and we could tinker with this forever, I'm going
to close re-writes and declare it final on Saturday afternoon (PDT). So
get your edits in now!
