I think that there is a misunderstanding.

I understood from your disagreement with thorsten that you expect the ssdf to
test the fritz8 that is available today.

The words different version was relative to the commercial of today.

I do not think that thorsten meant to say that the ssdf are going to test a
secret version of Fritz8 that people cannot buy in the future(or cannot get an
upgrade for people that already bought Fritz8).
