If BeOS was a live project I would agree with you, but since Be is dead and
there really isn't much movement from the commercial side I believe that the
release of this patch (microrelease) ,buggy as it is, was a good move. I, for
one, was starting to be tired of the Team Status always being on the same
state, when clearly there has been some extra progress. I would blame those
who have left the status of the Preferences to Planning!!!! I saw code there
that doesn't show on the Status bars. And in any way, there is a uninstall
option in the patch that brings the system back. I only saw one case in the
bug database where failure to boot was a problem after installation (and that
is to be expected by even a Beta version).
And something a little out of topic. I would like to help with beta testing
anything the OBOS has that is close to release (alpha or beta). I am a
programmer my self, working on Delphi and VB - sorry, only basic C knowledge
- but I have two PC's running BeOS 5 (an Athlon XP 1700+ running the 5 Pro
edition -patched for the SSE problem-, and a Celleron 366 based mobile
computer running the Personal edition, on a 4gb partition.)
