If past experience is any guide, this won't happen.

In the public XPSP2 beta, the only recourse was to watch for MS posts which
I flagged through an imperfect filter, and then go and read the surrounding
discussion.

Why would you want this?

The software has been released as a PUBLIC Beta, so why shouldn't we
'THE PUBLIC' be allowed to post comments?

I am sure the moderators will remove any unsuitable posts/comments...

I hope that you've notice that there are 6 other groups associated with the
publicly released beta? One of which is labelled "general?"

It really does help if folks post to a group relevant to their particular
issue. For example, it is helpful if False Positive issues are posted to
the signatures group--and I know this isn't necessarily intuitively obvious
to all of us.

If the posts to this group were all individual announcements of what we
think of the product, I wouldn't bother reading it. I hope Microsoft would,
but I'm here to help, rather than argue about whether your opinion is more
accurate than mine.

Being a Beta Tester for MSFT, having been on more than 12 Betas, I agree
that since this is public, the public is allowed to comment.
