You may be missing the point somewhat. All of your comments are specific to the RIAs INSIDE MM Central. I agree that they leave something to be desired in some cases - but the beta is NOT of these RIAs, but rather of the container application.
In effect you're reviewing a new web browser by criticizing the web pages being displayed within it. MM Central isn't really about these RIAs but rather the delivery of any RIAs. I agree however that any content platform is only as good as the content available on it. But this is a beta of the platform, not the content. The content is all sample applications and tech demos - just something so you can see how the platform works.
