Sorry but that's rubbish in this case. It doesn't make a penny worth of
difference whether they bring out the beta tomorrow or this time next
week. I'm sure they're trying to get the best possible programme out to
the testers or else we'll have a rehash of all the moaners coming out of
the woodwork yet again for another week or two.

And my answer was just as simple. Be patient and wait for a, hopefully,
fairly bug free beta which will be released when they are ready to
release it. If they promised to release it, say, tomorrow and it came
out full of bugs, you'd be up in arms saying "Why release a buggy
version?" They are trying to avoid that, it seems to me, and yet people
still complain. They can't win and I pity them because they have given
us a quite wonderful, IMHO, product that does 95% of what people want
95% of the time, or am I just easily satisfied?
