Unless something has dramatically changed, they have a QA team.
I worked for a company that had a QA team. While formally everything was put
in place for QA to work as it should, it just didn't. The team's efforts
were continuously frustrated by the company's short term goals.
When short term earnings become more important than any long term vision
you'll find the ground under your feet eroding away faster than you can say
'Quality Assurance'.
When the customers' expectations continuously fail to be met, that's writing
on the wall.

A regular release schedule is reassuring in many ways - it also allows the
vendor to more effectively plan upgrade campaigns.
But if the schedule becomes the sole metric, then it drives you to cut out
the more intensive issues/features or let them slide from one version to
the
next because the cycle is just too short.
Also, my understanding is that the beta list is only accessible if you
have
a current license. If you are mid-project, then its very likely you do not
want to upgrade your IDE - I have a project under RB 5.5.x that runs just
fine (and about to be released) and one attempt at using 2006 ended up
with
a lost developer week. With no idea what is coming, if the bugs holding
off
an update to RB 200X havent been addressed, then upgrading is simply a
matter of finding the current version in use (5.5.x) is totally broken.
That
isnt encouraging for sales ;-)
I can live without Universal Binaries for now (Rosetta is fine for this
solution) - my expectation is that Vista compatibility will be upgrade
driven but I hope not - because the problems introduced under RB 2006 were
just too much trouble to fix otherwise.
