Hey. Nice work, looking forward to the others.
Just a semantic note: I'm not sure 'abortive' is the right word for X1's initial release - it makes it sound like they did a recall or something. Whether or not one feels they should have, they didn't... but rather stuck to their guns and came up with a series of point releases which, while they weren't exactly rapid-fire, did resolve most issues for most users.
I would say there are several words that might describe the situation better: 'troubled', 'problematic', 'contentious', and 'premature' come to mind. But it wasn't abortive - X1 has been on sale continuously since initial release and, despite initial issues, had numerous fans (as well as not-such-big-fans...) early on.
