What is "release date"? According to OpenBSD web-site
"The current release is OpenBSD 4.0 <http://openbsd.org/40.html>
which was
released Nov 1, 2006."
Or, do i miss something (I could because I'm new to OpenBSD)?
He probably pre-ordered, received CDs before 11/1, and waited until
11/1 to get the packages that aren't on CD.

Yep. And I'm sure you can build a decent desktop with what's there.
It's just that when I went from 3.8->3.9, a few packages I'd already
added via internet couldn't be updated from the cds which resulted in
some mismatches and problems. kde's artsd would go into an infinite
loop and peg the processor. It was easy to handle but different
stuff could have caused bigger problems. But if you start from the
cds and/or do stuff after the packages go up, as is the case now, you
wouldn't have this problem.
