Beta software

I'm trying to figure out of a weird quirk I'm dealing with is the result of combining Daemon Tools and Windows 7. And I happen across this thread where users of DT were reporting that it wasn't installing on the Beta of Windows 7.

Kudos to the Daemon Tools developers for completely missing the purposes of the beta releases. Those purposes being:

1. Identify bugs in the operating system to ensure that they don't make their way to RTM, where they might break things that don't need to be broken.
2. Identify compatibility issues between new operating systems and widely used 3rd-party tools. Believe it or not, Microsoft actually changes and patches their operating system when they learn when such tools break.
3. Ensure that the developers of a 3rd-party tool can have working software for the RTM release before the RTM

Again, kudos to those developers for not wasting their time taking advantage of a process intended to ensure their product works with the new OS.
