i saw a question on the wtblog asking why the beta testers has fallen to the normal customers section, really that is a good question. They did helped a lot for the bugs and all, and finally they get nothing ?

^^ Read the Update 2 on that news. The transcriptor has made an error on the date.

So is one to reasonably presume that since August 6 (the purported date on which the "RTM" would be delivered to MSDN subscribers) has long since arrived across the world, that this is a fictitious date and Microsoft is again going to drop the ball on its ISVs and partners?

Is there a milestone set that the Windows "team" is ever able to meet? This reminds me of people saying "well, I'll try..." Try to do what? Try to do it and succeed, or try to do something and flounder around like a bumbling idiot waiting for the right time to apologize for not really trying at all?

I hear you....time is time and shoudln't be determined by our head office location. All I can say is I'm trying to make this point internally and hopefully can drive some change for the future.

all I can say for now is sorry and I hope it shows up in the next hour or so.

thanks for the feedback...it's helpful for me to share
