Well, that now makes even more sense.

UPDATE: At a LabVIEW seminar today, I found out that we will NOT be receiving 8.6 in the kit in January.

A NI instructor stated that since 8.6 was just released in August, for "stability assurance reasons" we all will be receiving a "FIRST Labeled Version" of 8.5.1 in the kit. (They consider 8.5.1 to be "very stable".)

It is still OK to load up the 8.6 Eval now though, and develop code in it throughout the fall. There's a "save as" option which allows you to save anything developed in 8.6 in the 8.5 file format. That will allow you to use it with the KoP version of LabVIEW.
