Well now you have to pay in order to pick the bugs out of the new M$ Beta software
I don't do Microsoft Betas any more, but in the nineties a whole slew of FoxPro folks devoted hundreds of hours to backing up, installing, configured, testing, documenting, reporting and advocating for bugs to be fixed in FoxPro. It made for an incredibly good product, worthy of version "Dot-Zero" status and ready to go into production the day it was released. FoxPro teams were patient and good sports about the whole thing, and knocked themselves out to deliver a great product, which they did, time after time. THAT was beta-testing. Microsoft "public betas" are nothing more than a public showing of what they are going to foist on their customers, with a chance for the marketeers to develop answers to the most frequency voiced complaints. I can't imagine paying for the privilege. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
