Whilst I feel your anger cookie i don't think illegal downloads of betas really push back testing. I don't believe in it either but its a way of life. It doesn't slow down development whatsoever though. Microsoft now knows this happens, some people cannot wait and betas do leak. It's a way of life.
Yes its annoying but no it doesn't hold back the real release date. the development of the program i feel has no bearing on some people getting hold of the beta early.
-----------------
What i'm interested in though is the development of the program. I have no interest in having a buggy WLM, it has no interest for me.
1) i use msgplus so wouldn't work on WLM
2) as i said it'd be buggy
3) i hate the orange color...
But anyway what im asking is then the actual release date of the proper beta comes about. as in the one published to the testers. once that happens i know it'll be about 2 months or so until the official release date.
