Yes, they have beta testers, but the point is that they should expand their beta testing base and let anyone who wants to test the next version test it. The user accepts that any damage to his/her files or machine is not covered by any warranty, as with all beta testing, and there you have it. As I said, gwm already does this.
Have a great day, Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon S" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Beta testing Hi, I am assuming that Humanware do have some beta testers because there has been talk in the past of software being delayed because a bug was found at the last minute. also I got my hands on a machine at a demo before 7.5 was out and this machine was already running 7.5 with the Ueb in it. The machine I am talking about was used by a blind Humanware employee. So my guess is that they do have beta testers they just don't ask anyone to do it. Part of it would be that they don't want any leaks of what is in the release getting out to the competition so they are selective of who they get as beta testers. Well this is my thoughts. >From Shaz. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Alex Hall" <[email protected] >To: "Dave Ransley" <[email protected]>,"List Braillenote" <[email protected] >Date sent: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:19:16 -0500 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Beta testing >I really could not agree more, but good luck getting hw to listen.
