MC 2.7

[Chipp Walters]

Yeah, I agree. I tend to be more 'free' on this list than use-rev. And 
count me to blame a bit for the Windows testing, but frankly, sometimes 
I have time for testing, and other times I just don't.

The testing process is a difficult one, but there are convential 
practices for doing it-- many take lots of time and money.

When we used to develop CD-ROMs for big customers like Disney, we HAD to 
get it right the first time, as you can't recall 150,000 SKU's at XMAS 
time. We ended up paying big dollars to have testing labs do round the 
clock testing of beta and golden master versions.

One of the great things (which I've been preaching for awhile) is the 
new updatability of 2.7. This enables Rev to go to market and then fix 
any anomalies easily at a later date. I hope Rev uses this to it's 
advantage. I mean, look how many releases WinXP has! It's constantly 
updating itself.

best,

Chipp
