MS gice priority into getting the show on the road ASAP and
ONLY then consider fixing defects as they become KNOWN. Many people like to have to go over and over this vicious cycle of using half-cooked s/w and in essence BETA test it. Then MS fixes things as they get NOTICED and not earlier.

This is the 'model' : if nobody complains, why do you want to fix it? Ofcourse at some point another embarassing virus or worm, etc. break-out takes place and then MS has to start working in fixing the inherently defective os internals.

Why would they change this model, if there are so many masochists willing to pay good money in order to become .... BETA testers... wink

I guess the masochists need the sadist and then ... "Everyone Loves Redmond" wink
