<no sarcasm> Really, for a beta that doesn't expire til May 31, 2007, that's
pretty darn good for an MS product. <sarcasm on> Ok, Apple Cores and
LinuxGearheads, jump over my post. YOU know you WANT to!
 
Because they know that there will be no way you'd be running a beta with RC1
out...

Of course, if the finished product is better than this (it will be), then
I'll be first in line to buy it.

But there are builds before that - to us technical testers Andre - 2-3 weeks
max.

The company is getting older and the product cycle is slowed .. a year isn't
that long anymore. Besides, Vista probably will RTM late Novemeber and be
publically released in January so most whoever's running the Beta will
probably want the fixed code.
