It's BETA for cryin' out loud. Naturally beta versions are going to have bugs. Bugs....absolutely. Stability is the issue here. Betas are for working out quirky problems that cannot be duplicated in a lab. When your vendors and test audience don't have a stable beta model to work with, it pretty much renders the entire process moot. This is a big problem if MS tries to go to market with an unstable Vista. It would be Windows ME to the tenth power.

Its in its final beta and the RC1 candidate is due out in less than two weeks...
Maybe if MS was not so busy with the x-box, trying to take on google, mp3 players, and other crap they would be able to turn out a stable rc candidate within a half decade..
