Yeah yeah yeah - its only a (so called) Beta grade product but the volume of
grief I am seeing in these lists seems to indicate that it is sucking up as
much user effort and causing as much distress as the very nasties it is
trying to interdict!
When I was a whipper-snapper, beta testing commenced when the project
developers and testers had performed all the unit and system tests they
could dream up to a point that they couldn't find any problems. Then the
real users were allowed to try and break it!
This programme really takes the cake in delivering a package that is barely
ready for system testing let alone any %age of the real world. Its either
unprofessional or smacks of desperation - or both!
Every day I feel more relaxed about the decision to dump IE now and as soon
as can be managed the rest of the sad mess. As an IT Consultant I claim the
right to remain a voyeur and commentator even if only to underpin any advice
given to my constituents to seriously consider a similar move if it can be
managed.
To any readers who are not ready to perform extended CPR on their system my
recommendation is to stay away until an official (Gold) release is produced.
My 2 bob bits worth, Frank.
