Hello Ron,
I will never agree to your mail:
You have not been recruited as BETA tester, it was YOU on your own risk. Nobody
told you have to. Don't use the word WE if YOU is the right one. On my system
I run 7.1 BETA 1 and I had only small problems (bugs???) which have all been
fixed in less than a day.
I had the "pleasure" to use Windows 2000 BETA, on that one you tell all guys it
was ALPHA stuff. The release of Windows 2000 now is a kind of BETAas Mandrake
7.1 ist not.
Regards
Burkhard
