Damn It. What Did I Miss?

Beta? This isn't even an alpha prototype. This code is being
shipped to test code, that should have been done internally a
long, long time ago. At least that is what the article, and
Allchin are stating. If this is the truth, which I doubt, then
Microsoft lacks any kind of testing environment, period.

What I truly suspect, is this release is an attempt to buy time.
They need to wake the ---k up and realize there is no more time
to be bought. Either ship at least a half-featured beta, or quit
messing with us!!!

And you know this how?

Are you a tester? Have you gotten you hand on a copy? Can you do anything except rant on mindlessly about somthing you know very little about?
Figured not.

When Steve Jobs said

"start your copy machines Redmond." He was more right than I
ever imagined.
