Has nothing to do with the paid testers. They don't decide when to release.
There is one way to tell for sure if an MS product will go to the street untested. If MS makes a big hoopla about it, it will be shit when it hits the street. I noticed that back at DOS4. They made all sorts of noise abut DOS4, when it ht the streets it was breaking peoples boxes. meanwhile, abot 3-4 months later they very quietly released DOS5.0 which was tremely stable and was the standard until everything went windows.
Win95, big hype, shitty product. Win98, not much hype, stable product. Winnt, no hype, stable product. etc etc etc Including Vista, lotsa hype, piece of shit product.
