Yeah, we don't install those.

Why not? What is a “preview” supposed to be, really? In movies and TV,
they are selected snippets of the forthcoming feature, to tease you into
looking forward to the full thing. But as far as Microsoft is concerned,
this *is* the feature.

If it’s a public beta test, why don’t they say so? Why can’t they be
honest and admit that they are using their docile and unsuspecting user
base as unpaid guinea-pigs for buggy software that will likely cause
problems for its users? Nay, not just unpaid, but actually paying for the
privilege?

Unless, of course, “preview” actually means “foretaste of the even worse
hell to come” ...
