It is indeed buggy. As for the lack of a dedicated newsgroup, although it makes
us a little crazy, the main reasons, as I understand it, are that WLMD will see
a name change before release and the same team is working on Vista Mail and
WLMD. When WLMD gets out the door in release form, I suspect we'll see a
dedicated newsgroup for it.
