Nope, totally wrong analogy. Completely off base.

Here's the problem junior...drivers...software/hardware manufacturers

have literally had years to develop drivers for Vista for their

products. Yet at Vista's RTM many major software/hardware manufacturers

were just beginning to develop and release drivers for Vista.

As a prime example, Nvidia video drivers have been notoriously bad for

months after Vista went RTM and are still somewhat buggy.

So the only beta testing Vista owners are doing is mainly for the crappy

drivers from software/hardware manufacturers.

Same thing goes on with every newly released os, Windows, Mac, linux all

of them.

Problem is, Windows owns the desktop market so bad drivers affect more

users.

That's because Microsoft has a bad habit of changing requirements at

the last minute causing work on drivers already completed to be

redone. Ask any developer.
