One advantage that Microsoft has over lots of other companies is that it can afford a higher level of support. It has its hosted newsgroups, MSDN subscriptions with "incidents" levels that allow you to submit questions, MSDN magazine, several conferences per year, outside consultants like Wintellect, authors like Jeffrey Richter, etc. With all of that, it can provide support for early releases. For us, while a leader in operating systems an applications for mobile devices, providing that level of support is not yet reachable. And unless we can support a pre-release, I don't think it would be responsible for us to provide a pre-release.
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that you guys should be just like Microsoft. God knows we don't need another one of them running around here. They just do a good job of taking care of their developers. Plain and simple!
If you feel you're being left in the dark, it's safer to
assume that it's a mistake, an oversight, or that information will be coming soon and that you need to be more patient. :-)
Engineers are usually very patient, however, all that goes out the door when waiting to get our greedy little hands on a new toy to play with and master. We hate the word soon :-)
