Read my post again. Beta testing is also limited as well my friend. Yes
perhaps thousands tested it, but in the real world we are talking millions.
Also millions of different setups, hardware, software and on and on. I've
heard these same old stories since Win95 and each time when a new system
comes out the one prior to that all of a sudden was the greatest. The OP
suggested not buying until it's perfect and that isn't going to happen.
Windows, a new car or any other product made for sale is going to have
problems. The answer is simple, if you don't like it try something else.
