Pls read again. I didn't say any bugs have been fixed. I said there are always bugs regardless how long you test. What I said is that when bugs are found and one uses a RC it will be obvious why if a RC is installed. Names make a difference. How much does MS charge for their label on the piece of software.
Austin, haven't your heard enough of those arguments that Linux is not ready for prime time. I get tired of it! It happens every time a problem is found, regardless if the same problem exists in MS Office as well. An RC just provides more of those arguments. If you like, just ignore them and make it more difficult to get the distro on a box that is now running on MS.
