OK I agree, but what if the Beta wasnt avaliable to us, sure the pros have the way of testing and getting feedback, but there are so many computer setups and by them offering it to us we are able to test and make sure this is what we want, think about it. they dont offer it to us and they release it, we are stuck with a product thats final and thats it, at least having the beta and being able to have our say could make microsoft think about changing options before the official release is sent out
