why H-1B will be gone within hours when released?

can you or someone else explain why it's not recommended to file I-140 if I plan to file for F-1 in the future again. How about I am going to remain on my F-1 and parallel with that apply for I-140? is it also not recommended? if no, why not?

Lawrence01, thanx for thorough information on the current situation of international students. I just wanted to assure some things that you have mentioned above. H-1B visas , would they be available after april'08? why April, not now immediately? Wi...
