He is kinda right though, every program that's shipped out has
minor or major bugs that lurk in the dark just waiting to bite,
the only diff is that the shipped out program contains much
lesser bugs then betas.

True, and that you'd like to get your hand on the latest
features/fixes.

Hmm... the problem of a little patch app was debated here, in
fact I think I started it :)
hmm lemme se 1/3 dl time, that would mean for me 5 mins instead
of 15, I _can_ se an obvious advantage.
Then again, at least at this point Open Source is very similar
with the M$ world. Open S. programmers do not build patches,
they just make them available for program sources and the users
can rebuild the programs themselves...
