I agree with you, with just that kind of description it is to hard. I would try to break up the stories in small parts like you did in the mail. And probably...

It sounds like you are on a project from hell John. I'm sure it's no fun, but it will come to pass. Most of us have experienced this as well. I call them...
... Oh come on. Give me a break. This project is fine. It's monstrous, the scope blew out, I have to use technology I haven't used before, but it's fine. ...
... It's worse than that. When you gave me your estimate, you did not define "done" for me. And you certainly did not give me a way to verify that doneness....
Sorry I misread the state of your project. From what you have written your project is very high risk (no schedule, major scope creep, lack of experience with...

... My two pence worth: I'd be *very* surprised if Fx2.0 doesn't ship 7 November. However, it's your risk not mine. Is what Fx2.0 brings to the party worth...
Hehe, it might not be any one specific thing in 2.0 I really need it's just that it would be a a good project to take the 2.0 plunge for me and there are some...

Fredrik, If I were you, I would do the development in 2.0 (VS 2K5 Beta 2), but compile and run it under 1.1 every now and then (avoiding 2.0 features) to make...
