Once a Beta release has been out for a while and no major bug reports are coming out, then you release a RC. A RC is supposed to be production ready code. That should attract more customers to load it. Wait a bit, if no bug reports come in, release it as Stable. Have you spent your entire life drinking the manufacturers' cola? I can't even begin to express how many ways what you say is wrong. But I guess you are used to it, and have no expectations of anything better. To be honest, software development has gone backwards over the last 40 years. No. I have actually spent a good portion of my life as a software developer. Complexity of the deployed environment has gone up. Thus the impossibility for a manufacturer to test every possible scenario. Heck, I spent time doing QA at IBM, we'd get bug reports on LANGUAGE specific version of the software. I'm not excusing the company. I do however live in the real world. I expect the software to work, I understand that no software beyond a "Hello World" program will have bugs. I expect the manufacturer to do due diligence in testing, hence Beta and RC releases. I also expect that at some point, software becomes RTM.
