I agree, I don't think it's possible in only 6 months.  There would be a 
large amount of work before you could get to the point that you could 
say convincingly that there was only 6 calendar months left to go.

I excluded sound and video because doing it in a secure and reliable way 
is harder in some ways, and a much lower priority, so I would defer it 
til later.  Existing DLLs are not necessarily the only viable way to get 
sound and video, nor necessarily the best way, but that's a question to 
come back to after everything else is working.  (There's also some 
transitioning and maturing in progress wrt Web video codecs in practice 
right now.)
