The way good testing gets done is by being completely open for anyone who wants to participate, no lockdown, no special licenses, easy and specific bug reporting..

I alpha and beta test FOSS all the time-- it's easy and I like it. How do you even /do/ that with Microsoft products? What, is the participation limited by like... numbers? ...cause that'll cripple the process pretty fast.

EXP sounds like customer driven feature set that will be implemented by the developers.

Its not software testing!!

That said, no amount of software testing can save Microsoft/Vista. Its UltimateCrap.!
