If you really want to be a beta tester, then I concede that it's not a good
thing. If your intent is to use the JDK as a development kit for applications,
you're better off with one that has achieved at least a nominal certification of
correctness -- rather than spending your time tracking down someone else's bugs.
Turning customers into beta testers is supposed to be the hallmark of that
*other* software company :-).
