Windows With the recent news that Microsoft will not release a second beta but will instead move Windows 7 directly into release candidate stage, several Windows testers have become a tad bit disgruntled. They claim that due to a lack of test builds, they cannot properly test Windows 7 to see if the bugs they submitted have been fixed. As a result, Steven Sinofsky simply replied: email me your concerns.

"Thousands"? I was talking about Debian, which has 23,000 software packages alone, maintained by something like 1,000 devs (and certainly more users than packages) and which is the basis of Ubuntu and countless other distributions. If they had put Arch Linux, LinuxMint, Xandros, Linspire or one of the countless others on page two I certainly wouldn't have complained. But his was about Debian.

Ah, of course. The powers that be forbid we don't all bow down to the mighty Debian project. Good grief, and you Debian lovers complain about the Apple trolls and Microsoft shills?
The page 2 story was a *version release announcement*, a release that, a few days before, had already been covered extensively on page 1. This is not information about a new Windows 7 build, this is information that Microsoft's lack of public builds is frustrating those who wish to test it. See the difference?
