Well, I gotten my impression of IBM, and the new IBM just isn't there. I don't think you understand the management issues involved in conduction beta test. I can't image doing it with more than 5000 programmers. Even that is too many. Windows: It seems to me that IBM wants a 32-bit operating system with PM,

... Following apparent problems with a new operating system is a habit of mine. Don't upgrade until the problems are being solved by newer versions. Don't be a beta tester. I often complain about things that are crap or wrong or whatever, and more often than not I get people telling me not to be so negative.

Other wise I'll just upload it back to them, as I was a beta tester for them at one time. RobR, if you're still checking the newsgroups, thanks a bunch man. Those drivers worked like ACES!

New OS
OK, as a side note, I **AM** impressed with the new 3.0 operating system. I saw a Beta release about 2-3 months ago, and it blew me away. Legal Note: No, once again, I am not a beta tester, and I had no right to be looking at the 3.0 O/S. However, it was shown to me by someone who got a pirated copy of it from

Any Jaguar beta tester, like beta testers everywhere, is under an NDA (non-disclosure agreement). If they broke that they wouldn't be invited back again. Occasionally the official owners of an app will disclose things in advance of release: if the the upgrade were to Entourage, not the OS, the MBU would probably

!!!!!!New OS/2 CRPG!!!!!
I know my company was encountering some difficulties with a beta test of the OS. We are recommending the same. Next month VISTA Service Pack 1 will be out. I have to admit, it's driving me rather crazy, trying to find familiar pieces of Word or Excel that MS has decided to classify in a new way.

OS 3.5 updates
Launching a new OS and a new integrated office package is complicated.

And your final point of the beta tester theory is just as invalid. WinMe along with all of the prior Windows releases were beta tested for months. Remember, MS doesn't write the drivers for the devices in your computer, it is up to that manfacturer whether or not they are going to write drivers for a new OS.

Recently, I installed OS/2 2.1, and am quite happy with it. Now that NT is out, I think I'm open to another new OS if it's really the OS for me. There is no necessity for me to spend money and time to become a beta tester of NT. (2) NT is a resource hog. With my _CPU-intensive_ programs running, I really don't

If Adaptec wants to test out new, groundbreaking business models, that involve screwing over their existing customers, well, that is their right.
