I bet they were also losing business because their software was marked as Beta. Smart move, it should bring more dollars to them!

Maybe it's just me but docs really, really sucks but it's free so I won't complain.

Starts by removing beta labels from itself, 'cause they're not fashionable.

Super Intelligent computers need not to be all that much in that age we're living, these days.

So they simply removed the beta name from its already existing products and are going to put it on something they care about.

They need those two "beta" labels for Chrome and Wave.


Of course, since they've stated that those numbers really don't mean anything. How else will we know when they finish? Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:24:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments
