Reviewing the first beta of an important release like Windows 7 is never an easy job to do. A confouding factor is that many people have already made up their mind about Windows 7; not because they have tried it, but because it's a Microsoft product, and therefore it sucks. At OSNews we try to judge products by their own merits, not by the parent company that created it. Read on for a set of impressions regarding the Windows 7 beta.

While you are technically correct, your argument is a bit facetious on the grounds that any bug can be converted into a feature, simply by stating intent.
For instance, I often joke with QA that bug X is actually a feature. If it's deliberate, then it can't be a bug right?
Bottom line though, if your software breaks other installed software, then that's a bug in my opinion, whether it is intended or not.
