There was a slip of paper in (at least my set of) 2.2.7 CDs offering three choices: - Get 2.2.8, skip 3.0, get the next 3.x release in January - Skip 2.2.8, get 3.0 and the January 3.x release - Get all three releases I think the first option was the default if WC didn't hear otherwise. You should be able to email sales@cdrom.com (or something similar) to give them your choice; don't forget to tell them your customer number.
