But "beta" software is supposed to be "feature complete"
while still buggy. In Microsoft's favor, I concede that
they have no release yet (in a networked world) that can
be considered beyond "beta". Well, I'll give you a "RC1"
for Win 2K but 8? that's a laugh. XP was obsolete when it
was released. Vista was the perfect beta. If Win 7 can
be considered beyond a RC there would be no need for 8.
If they are arguing that their development environment is
inherently unstable and produces software that is feature
incomplete I guess I have to agree. Not to defend any
other code base particularly, but overall quality is an
attribute they seem to ignore. Win 7 may be the jumped
shark.

Of what I understand of this case, I find it impossible to be sympathetic with
Novell. If Novell programmers were competent, mature and professional software
developers they would have adapted to the API change quickly and met their
deadline or shortly there after. Instead, they want to succumbed to hurt
feelings of having to learn something new.
I don't see anything unfair here in the context of rapidly evolving technology
landscape typical of the computer and software industry.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
