Well, from where I stand, it may not be bug-free, but it'll come pretty darn
close. They're spending a *lot* of money shipping out new beta releases
(overnight express) to all their beta sites. Lots of new beta releases. Each
one closer and closer to bug-free (as far as I can tell, the only bugs left
are ones I'd declare 'obscure'). I've been beating on it for a while in
Beta, and the worst I could do to it was get it to glitch the screen
updating under really obscure conditions. I'm *trying* to crash it, too.
Honest.
