Completely different scenario. You should re-read what has already been
said about this. Windows "beta" versions are essentially working systems
that just need some polishing before MS commits to full-scale public
support. Evo pre-release versions, especially early in the development
cycle, are really only aimed at people wanting to test and improve the
software itself by compiling, debugging and hacking on the source code.
IOW they are the equivalent of *internal* MS test versions, which of
course the public never sees.

PS Please don't top-post on this list. It's an Outlook-ism that many
people find very irritating and counter-productive.
