Re: [CGUYS] Beta Software Warning [Was: One more question...]
Since I am an idiot, I will respond... Disclaimer 1: My desktop is my main machine and I would not put Win7 beta on it. This disqualifies you from the idiot contest. You will have to try harder and but the beta on your main machine. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Beta Software Warning [Was: One more question...]
Of course the millions who are using it for daily work may just be deceiving themselves, too. The product has not shipped. Anyone using it for daily work has a daily job as a beta tester or is an out and out idiot. The extremes you go to as a MS lap dog are amazing. Telling people to do their daily work with beta software is unconscionable. Folks do not do this! * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Folks do not do this! Sez the man who has never touched it. Ignorance or real-world experience: I wonder which is more credible? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I merely pointed out that your claim that all we have to go on is MS propaganda is ridiculous because a huge number of people ARE using it on a day-to-day basis. That you managed to morph this into a recommendation that people install it now is truly amazing. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Sez the man who has never touched it. I'm not stupid. I usually wait for SP2. And that goes for software from other vendors too. Doing real work with beta software is just plain dumb. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Beta Software Warning [Was: One more question...]
So now beta software is...the official beta, the official GM release AND the official release with SP 1? Now finally we are out of 'beta' when we hit SP 2? And I thought MS's numbering scheme was wacko... On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Tom Piwowar t...@tjpa.com wrote: Sez the man who has never touched it. I'm not stupid. I usually wait for SP2.

Then you would agree that anyone who does their daily work with beta software is an idiot.
