Whether it's good or not, doesn't matter - the main issue is that end users 

are getting their hands on it and installing it. I know of 3 people in our 

company alone. And they certainly didn't go poking around developers 

sections to find it...

See below about your testing...

It is definitely NOT a rare bug. How many different operating systems and 

browser configurations have you tested this on? Have you tried Win2000 with 

IE 5?  How rare is that configuration - the latest operating system with the


latest browser? From my understanding this is not the only configuration 

that is having problems...
