Beta 1 of Windows Vista not feature complete?
Admittedly I haven’t really paid much attention to developments with Windows Vista as I have stopped caring about Microsoft releases unless it is something server related and will affect me at work but from what I am reading it would seem that Beta 1 isn’t feature complete, excuse me? A beta release that isn’t feature complete? Since when can you call something a beta release when it isn’t feature complete? At best that would be a technology preview.
In other news Beta 2 has been pushed back to sometime next year and in order to meet their already committed ship date of sometime in Summer 2006 they plan on skipping a Release Candidate, now there is a wonderful idea! The software wasn’t ready for testing in time so lets just shorten the testing phase to get the product out the door, strategies like that always have fantastic results.
