Paul Thurrot (there he is again) compares Vista Beta 1 to Tiger: "For Windows enthusiasts, Windows Vista Beta 1 is a much-needed demonstration that Microsoft can still churn out valuable Windows releases, after years of doubt. For Mac OS X users, however, Windows Vista Beta 1 engenders a sense of deja vu. Isn't a lot of this stuff already in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger?"

My understanding is that "beta" software is software that is feature complete, and is sent out for bug testing. "Alpha" is software that is feature incomplete.
So presumably by MS putting out a "beta" it is feature complete, which should justify a comparison with a feature complete Mac OSX. If they didn't mean "beta", then why call it that? Perhaps, so that people think that they're further along than they really are?
