Re: FLASH: Flash Player 5

[Gregg Caines]

How many of those downloaders are actually going to provide

ANY feedback at all?  How many are actually going to provide

meaningful feedback?


Beta testing needs to be left to beta testers.  That's what MM

do with their other products.  Now they've let out a bunch of bad

plug-ins that would have been easily detected by just providing

a download link to the people on this list alone.  After an initial

test, they could expand the install base by advertising the beta

plug-in elsewhere.  The developer community has a vested

interest in beta-testing, and they are clearly willing (and qualified)

to do it.


The end-user should get the plug-in when it is ready for end-use.

That seems kind of obvious to me, but maybe I'm not

understanding the argument.  Why is it better to give buggy

software to end-users?
