- Well after playing with it for a while, it's definitely NOT a beta -
- Microsoft is just rearranging definitions to fit their marketing
- again. To almost anybody else, beta means that the product is nearly
- done, most of the features are there, they're just trying to get the
- bugs out and catch any nasty interactions before they ship. There's
- so much missing from the NT "beta" that this is a joke - it's just an
- enhanced Software Development Kit. Wait for a real beta to come out -
- unless you're going to be releasing NT applications or you need to get
- up to speed on programming it, it's pretty much a waste of 95 megs of
- disk space.
