You can't get a little bit preganant. If the new version really was stable, all the tens of thousands of app maintainers would have made sure it works with it. This is becoming rather similar to using released versions versus internal versions when I worked at Microsoft. The released version was always ancient and we'd shake our heads at those poor "customers" who were stuck with the older, less capable version, while for years we'd been using the newer thing and of course all significant work required using the unreleased version. Ubuntu : Debian Stable :: IDS Build of Windows : Windows Debian Unstable :: Daily Build of Windows, except it mostly works whereas most daily builds of windows were unusable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
